Lisa Golightly

Lisa Golightly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and life transitions. Her work also includes support for career concerns, attention-related struggles, and building self-esteem and self-love.

She aims to create a space where people feel heard and treated with respect. Sessions are meant to be compassionate and practical. Lisa focuses on clear, workable steps rather than long theoretical talks.

Her approach blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques. That means conversations center on the person's needs, thoughts and behaviors are examined, and short-term goals guide progress. Strategies are chosen to match what each person wants to change.

Lisa emphasizes collaboration. She helps people identify strengths and plan small actions that lead to better coping. Common tools include reframing unhelpful thoughts, setting achievable goals, and practicing new behaviors between sessions.

If asking for help feels hard, she works to make the first steps easier. The aim is steady progress toward regaining balance and managing anger, stress, or other concerns. Lisa welcomes questions about the process and what to expect during the first sessions.

How these approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening closely, reflecting what is said, and shaping the work around the person’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a steady place to talk through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.

Solution-focused therapy narrows the view to practical steps and short-term goals. It asks what will look different when things improve and then builds on small successes. This approach suits people who want concrete changes they can track week to week.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight or for options that need less bandwidth when internet conditions vary.
