About Lisa
Lisa Zwagerman is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin. She combines training as a counselor and life coach to help people through changes and difficult seasons. Her work often supports stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship and family problems, and transitions around work or caregiving.
She has three years of clinical experience and uses practical tools to guide conversations. Clients encounter a warm, down-to-earth approach that values partnership. Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life steps that fit a family's routine.
Background and approach
Lisa aims to listen first, then help identify small changes that can ease daily pressure and restore balance. Her practice blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she starts with what matters most to the person and then adds skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are woven in to build coping skills and clarify next steps. Lisa has worked with college-age clients, new parents, physician families, women with role-related concerns, people changing careers, and school-age children. She also addresses grief, trauma, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues connected to adoption, aging, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are offered in English only.
Approaches for families and flexible online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person first. It helps parents and individuals feel heard and respected while exploring what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress or low mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many parenting or relationship tensions. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve everyday coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Choices about techniques are made collaboratively so the plan fits the family's needs and daily life.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around school, work, and caregiving. The range of formats supports different comfort levels and can help people keep consistent progress while managing busy family routines.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
