Lisa Lee-Briggs

Lisa Lee-Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with relationship and family stress, parenting concerns, mood challenges such as depression and bipolar, and problems with anger and self-esteem. She speaks English and French and aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative search for the client’s own answers. She uses straightforward conversation to help people move forward and reduce conflict. Sessions are tailored so the pace and focus match each person's needs and goals.

Her background includes work across relationship, family, and intimacy-related concerns along with parenting, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating issues. She also addresses career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include blended family issues, body image, codependency, control issues, and separation or divorce challenges.

Lisa draws from a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and mixes methods to fit the situation. She looks for ways to replace blame with clearer understanding and better communication. That practical orientation guides how she helps people repair or improve important relationships and manage intense feelings like anger.

Clients can expect a guided, practical approach that combines empathy with direct conversation. Lisa encourages people to take the first step toward a more balanced and satisfying life and supports them through that process.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Lisa uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques designed to help people manage strong emotions and improve communication. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anger, depression, and anxiety. Gestalt-informed work emphasizes awareness in the moment and helps people notice patterns in interaction and feeling so they can make concrete changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select and adapt methods that match their goals, life situation, and preferences. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can guide which tools and exercises transfer well to remote sessions, helping people practice new communication skills and emotion regulation between meetings.
