Lisa Bicket

Lisa Bicket is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience practicing in Illinois. She uses a client-centered approach to help people facing depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and major life changes. Lisa focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.

She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk through hard feelings and sort out what matters most to them. Sessions often look at everyday patterns like communication, sleep, and coping with work or family strain. Lisa helps people build clearer boundaries and better ways to ask for what they need.

Her work blends straightforward tools and thoughtful listening. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift small behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and reducing reactivity.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to set practical, short-term goals and keep momentum between sessions. This approach can be useful when someone is uncertain about change or needs a step-by-step plan.

People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented therapist tend to find her style a good match. She supports parents managing stress, people coping with grief or trauma, those dealing with relationship or intimacy concerns, and people managing conditions such as ADHD or bipolar disorder. For anyone feeling overwhelmed, she emphasizes clear next steps over jargon.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It involves open conversation, reflection, and guidance to help someone clarify goals and feel understood. This approach works well for struggles with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions break difficulties into small steps and practice changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger. It is practical and often includes short tasks between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills can help with stress, trauma reactions, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process built around the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm session formats before booking, since the available options are not listed in the biography. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allows shorter check-in meetings when needed, and can reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements during the initial scheduling step to match therapy to daily life.
