Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Mulholland uses a mix of approaches to help clients address both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for mood difficulties, anxiety, compulsive habits, and many everyday problems where patterns of thinking influence feelings and actions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people explore and resolve ambivalence about change; it can be especially helpful for addictions, behavior change, and clients weighing different life choices. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences, offering skills and structured support for people coping with trauma and post-traumatic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, access care from different locations within the same state, and maintain continuity of support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
