About Lisa

Lisa Roberts is a licensed professional counselor with 23 years of experience. She starts by listening closely so parents can say what worries them most. Her style is straightforward and respectful.

She helps people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD challenges. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their life. She draws on common-sense tools and evidence-informed methods to build practical skills.

Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that can change daily routines and relationships.

Background and approach

Lisa brings experience working with family-related concerns such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care, fatherhood issues, and family of origin patterns. She also addresses relationship strains like infidelity and jealousy, and life transitions that affect mental health. Clinically she uses methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

These approaches guide how she helps people manage feelings, change unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen connections with others. Based in Texas, Lisa offers care that aims to be practical and tailored. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so progress can be seen and adjusted.

She is available for work on a range of concerns from postpartum depression to veteran-related issues and seasonal affective disorder. Parents looking for focused, steady support often find her sessions useful for making real-life changes. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each family’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and the everyday struggles parents describe. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to depression or anxiety. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding emotions and improving connection in relationships, which can help with family tension and problems like jealousy or infidelity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things change, keeping the process practical and collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules and continue work between appointments. For many, the range of formats makes it easier to keep momentum and apply strategies at home and in daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
