About Lisa

Originally from Ireland, Lisa Collins has made California her home for nearly 30 years and brings a compassionate, service-oriented approach to her therapy work.

She is a California-licensed LMFT - which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and has five years of professional clinical experience supporting people through a variety of concerns. Lisa focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression, and the challenges that come with major life changes.

Trained primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies while customizing each treatment plan to reflect an individual’s needs and goals. Her practice centers on respect, sensitivity, and kindness, and she views the decision to seek help as a brave first step toward a more fulfilling life.

Lisa aims to empower people as they work toward meaningful change, offering steady support and collaborative guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Virtual Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a primary approach Lisa uses; it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve coping skills. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, and confidence issues.

She also draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skill-building, relapse prevention, and establishing healthier routines. These methods aim to support recovery from addictions, strengthen motivation, and help people navigate life transitions by teaching tools that can be applied between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lisa works together with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adapt interventions so the plan fits their preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and maintain continuity of care during major transitions. These options support access to consistent therapeutic support while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical, effective work toward recovery and growth.
