Lisa Adler, LPC-MH

Lisa Adler is a licensed therapist based in South Dakota with 26 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief and parenting concerns among many other life issues. She holds an LPC-MH, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health, and brings a long history of working with individuals and families to address complex emotional and practical difficulties.

Lisa operates from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to overcome obstacles. Seeking change takes courage, and she aims to support and empower clients without judgment or criticism. Her practice emphasizes clear, honest assessment and the use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to individual goals. Lisa typically checks messages several times a day and responds as promptly as possible, while asking for patience when responses take a bit longer due to other professional or personal responsibilities.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Support

Lisa Adler uses evidence-based, skills-focused strategies that help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that follow. These practical tools are often useful for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and everyday challenges that affect functioning and wellbeing.

She also emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills designed to improve tolerance for strong feelings and to build healthier responses to grief, trauma, anger, or relationship strain. In addition, Lisa incorporates family- and communication-focused work that supports healthier interaction patterns for parenting, relationship issues, and blended family concerns. These approaches are grounded in research and tailored to each client’s situation.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Lisa will work with each person to identify which evidence-based techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging - which can make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and life demands.
