About Lisa

Lisa Westcoat is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of full-time experience in mental health and addiction treatment. She builds counseling relationships that emphasize acceptance and respect, combining a warm, empathic presence with a down-to-earth, realistic approach. Colleagues and clients have described her as genuine, encouraging, and at times direct, qualities she uses to help people move past obstacles and create lasting change.

Her clinical work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, communication and relationship problems, depression, trauma and abuse, and coping with life transitions. She also brings substantial experience in treating drug, alcohol, and process addictions, addressing family conflict, guilt and shame, codependency, and integrating the twelve-step approach when appropriate. Lisa works with issues related to anger, control, commitment struggles, domestic violence, and other patterns of behavior that harm individuals and relationships by challenging unhelpful beliefs and teaching practical alternatives.

Lisa tailors therapy to each person, drawing from evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches to meet specific needs. She aims to support and empower clients as they take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she employs - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy rounds out her repertoire by emphasizing empathy and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, creating a space where clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and encourages open discussion about what helps and what does not.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied life circumstances. Clients can connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, personalized treatment that fits each client’s life.
