Lisa Franco, LIMFT

Lisa Franco approaches therapy with a practical and hopeful perspective, viewing the decision to seek help as a constructive step rather than a weakness. She centers each session on the client - their goals, visions, and dreams - and treats those priorities with genuine attention and respect.

Lisa works with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, divorce and separation, parenting issues, substance use concerns, and life transitions such as preparing for marriage. She also focuses on areas like trauma and abuse, self-esteem, body image, communication problems, and midlife questions, aiming to support individuals, couples, and families as they navigate difficult moments.

Committed to helping people move from feeling stuck to moving forward, Lisa draws on evidence-based trainings to tailor work to each person’s needs. Her training includes EMDR, CPT, DBT, solution-focused brief therapy, and telehealth methods. She holds the LIMFT credential - Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist - which reflects specialized training in relational and family-centered care.

With an emphasis on encouragement and collaboration, Lisa aims to help clients build purposeful, resilient lives and healthier relationships, guiding them toward practical changes and renewed clarity.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often used for people coping with post-traumatic stress and lingering effects of past events. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress - it can be helpful for mood instability, intense anxiety, and recurring interpersonal conflicts. Solution-focused brief therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward a preferred future, making it useful for stress, life transitions, and goal-oriented work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will work with each person to explore which techniques fit their history, current needs, and goals, adjusting methods over time to find the best match for progress and comfort.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive consistent support from therapists who specialize in the issues a person is facing.
