Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Lisa McCann integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard and supported; it is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve day-to-day functioning.

She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation, impulsivity, or intense interpersonal stress are central concerns. DBT offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive actions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - Lisa works with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Lisa is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain consistent support while balancing everyday life.
