About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical skill-building and steady support so people can manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and addictions. Her approach is direct and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps feel doable for worried parents and caregivers.
In sessions she listens first and then works with each person to set clear, short-term goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help with emotion regulation and on motivational interviewing when someone is wrestling with change. Conversations are tailored to the individual. That means the plan may include problem-solving, coping strategies, and ways to improve communication and boundaries.
Lisa blends practical techniques with steady encouragement rather than relying on lengthy theory talks. She also addresses issues connected to trauma, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions. Additional areas she works on include codependency, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and substance-related concerns.
Sessions tend to focus on small, concrete steps that can fit into a busy family life. Lisa practices in Texas as an LPC and speaks English. If a parent or caregiver is looking for straightforward guidance and a collaborative plan, she helps people break problems into manageable actions and supports them through change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so a person feels heard and respected; it helps when someone needs steady support and a therapist who follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, includes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping under pressure, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and mood swings.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will start by listening to concerns and goals, explain different methods, and recommend what to try first. Together they adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person's needs and life circumstances.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats allow regular check-ins, quick skills practice between meetings, and a way to fit support into busy family schedules. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel and make it easier to keep steady progress.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
