Lisa Wing, LCPC - Therapist in Maine

About Lisa

Lisa Wing is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maine. She has worked in the mental health field in a variety of roles for many years and has been a licensed clinician for nine years. Her practice focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, trauma, and family and parenting concerns.

Lisa uses straightforward, down-to-earth language in sessions. She aims to meet people where they are and treats each person with respect.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative - goals and a plan are made together so the work fits real life. Her background includes training in cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and dialectical behavior therapy among other approaches. She blends techniques to suit what an individual needs in the moment, while keeping an eye on practical, doable steps.

Clients can expect a therapist who balances warmth and a no-nonsense style. Humor is used when helpful to ease tense moments and build connection. The emphasis is on making changes that are realistic and relevant to daily life.

Lisa also brings experience working with people who identify as LGBT and with concerns like ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She supports work on life purpose, coping with change, and social anxiety in addition to core mood and trauma-related concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors; this approach is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, which is a structured method that targets distress tied to traumatic memories and can reduce the intensity of those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process may start with one approach and include others as progress and preferences become clear.

Online sessions are offered through multiple formats to make care more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions are available when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing communication between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the focus on practical steps and 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.
