Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges related to life transitions by building psychological flexibility and helping clients move toward what matters most.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach creates space for exploration of self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and caregiver stress by prioritizing the client’s perspective and facilitating self-directed change.

Lisa combines these methods with practical strategies to support coping, resilience, and personal meaning. Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process - she works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapts methods to fit those needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and those with mobility or caregiving demands. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow appointments to fit into daily life and make consistent care more accessible. These options support ongoing therapeutic work, whether addressing stress, relationship issues, grief, or adjustments related to aging and life transitions.
