Lisa Namm, LPC

Lisa Namm, MS (Master of Science), LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), and NCC (National Certified Counselor) brings a veteran's perspective to counseling while partnering with adults, older adults, and military service members to find practical resolution and greater inner calm. She approaches each person with empathy and respect, believing that most people are doing the best they can with their circumstances and that added support can help them live more consistently with their values.

She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University with a Specialization in Trauma and Crisis in 2015 and completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in Social and Criminal Justice in 2010. Since 2014 she has offered a range of mental health services across settings, including individual counseling, inpatient and outpatient hospital treatment, and a variety of supportive services.

Her practice draws from evidence-based methods, blending solution-focused strategies, acceptance and commitment approaches, existential and humanistic perspectives, person-centered care, dialectical techniques, and cognitive behavioral interventions. These methods are applied to help people managing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma-related concerns, interpersonal difficulties, career stress, and life transitions.

She provides therapy through scheduled telehealth appointments as well as in-person office sessions. Offering virtual sessions mirrors the experience of sitting in an office while giving people the flexibility to attend from familiar environments. Lisa emphasizes tailored, empathetic, and empirically informed care that supports clients in defining and moving toward what matters most to them.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and regulate mood. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and work-related stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can engage in meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on strengths and short-term goal setting to create timely, actionable change for specific challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors interventions accordingly. Together they evaluate what techniques feel most effective and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide scheduling flexibility and make it easier to attend sessions from home, work, or while traveling. These options can increase access for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints, while still allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, evidence-based care.
