About Lisa

Lisa Redd is a Maryland-based clinician who offers straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood struggles, grief, or parenting challenges. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and brings four years of professional experience to her work.

Lisa aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling. She focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and build clearer routines and expectations.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens first and then helps clients map small, doable changes. That might mean talking through coping skills for anxiety, developing strategies for addiction recovery, or addressing painful reactions after trauma. Lisa also supports people navigating relationship and family concerns, life purpose questions, and identity matters including LGBT topics.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients set goals and checks in on progress each week. Techniques are drawn from evidence-based therapeutic practices tailored to the person and situation.

Lisa provides sessions that can include talking about attachment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication struggles, and mood disorders. She also addresses issues like OCD symptoms, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and process addictions such as gambling or pornography when relevant. Conversations are available in English and offered to international clients as well.

Lisa works with people to identify the first concrete steps toward change and supports them through follow-up and adjustment of the plan as needed.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

Many of the techniques used are drawn from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that teach practical skills. For example, cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. These techniques are useful for stress, depression, and many everyday worries.

Another common approach involves trauma-informed strategies that help people process painful events at a pace that feels safe. Those methods support recovery from abuse, post-traumatic stress, and strong emotional reactions by combining grounding exercises with structured processing when the person is ready.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes regular work easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be more flexible, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing encouragement. These options let people keep momentum without long commutes and help sustain changes between sessions.
