Lisa Grady

Lisa Grady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years in the mental health field. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Her approach aims to make daily life more manageable and reduce the things that get in the way of functioning. She began working in substance use counseling in controlled environments and with individuals who were incarcerated. That early work included supporting women with co-occurring disorders and later shifted to serving an all-male population. Those roles focused on practical skill building to handle life's challenges. Over time Lisa moved into community-based work. She provides individual counseling and leads group sessions. Group work remains a steady part of her practice and is used alongside one-on-one sessions when appropriate. Her background includes work with competency restoration and with people on probation and parole, which gave her a clearer sense of the legal context that can affect clients. She has also worked with trauma-informed care approaches and with military-related issues. Clients come to her for help with relationship patterns like attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and blended family stress. She also supports people dealing with control issues, impulsivity, guilt, isolation, and challenges tied to substance use. Her focus stays practical: teach coping skills, build routines, and talk through next steps. Lisa practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To begin, potential clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability via the Start Therapy button.

Approaches for managing anger and related struggles

Evidence-based techniques often used to address anger include skills training that teaches emotional regulation and practical tools for responding differently to triggers. These methods focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that lead to angry outbursts and replacing them with calmer responses, which can help with impulsivity and relationship strain.

Another common approach is trauma-informed care that recognizes how past hurts shape present reactions. This work helps people understand how trauma and shame affect anger and builds steps to reduce reactivity while increasing safety and stability in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so methods stay useful and realistic.
