Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Lisa Hammes

Lisa Hammes uses a mix of proven approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work; it helps with building self-awareness and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa Hammes collaborates with each client to identify priorities, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works best for their goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy fits the client’s unique situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access consistent support during life changes, and engage in therapy from familiar settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual needs.
