Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lisa May

Lisa May draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support online clients. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy and respect, helping people explore their feelings and values so they can find their own path forward and build stronger relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, combining approaches as appropriate to address trauma, grief, addiction, or life transitions.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful progress.
