About Lisa
Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with parents and adults facing stress, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people make practical shifts when emotions feel overwhelming. Lisa draws on nearly two decades of clinical work to guide clients toward clearer choices and more stable day-to-day functioning.
She tends to begin by helping people notice what they are already doing that helps.
Background and approach
From there she identifies small, realistic changes that fit each person's life. Sessions focus on what is useful now rather than only on why things happened. That practical orientation often helps clients feel less stuck.
Lisa uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how close relationships shape responses and patterns. She also applies Client-Centered methods that let the person set the pace and topics for therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool in her work for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her background includes 19 years of practice as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - in California. Over that time she has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, blended family issues, chronic illness, and sexuality matters such as kink and alternative sex culture. Sessions are offered in English and available in several online formats.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the intake process. Lisa aims to tailor each plan to what the client needs and prefers.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current close relationships affect feelings and behavior. It helps people understand why certain relationship patterns repeat and how to build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person in charge of the pace and focus of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's priorities to help them feel heard and make decisions that fit their life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans if something does not fit. That collaborative process helps tailor therapy to the real problems people face at home and in relationships.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Many people find the range of formats makes it simpler to practice new skills between sessions and to check in in ways that match their comfort and needs.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
