How her approaches shape online work
Lisa often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current emotional reactions and patterns. This approach helps people understand where anger and trust issues come from and supports building healthier ways to relate.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions like anger. When trauma is part of the picture, elements of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing can be offered to process distressing memories and reduce their hold.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. She checks in often and adjusts the plan as progress or setbacks appear.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are arranged through the service. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when a full hour isn’t possible. It also allows consistent progress when life makes in-person visits difficult.
