Lisa Rich

Lisa Rich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years of hands-on experience. She has worked in private practice, inpatient hospitalization, in-home counseling, residential settings, and crisis work. She helps people facing issues such as depression, trauma, addictions, anxiety, grief, and anger.

Her approach is flexible and practical. She mixes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and narrative ideas to fit each person. She listens first, then adjusts techniques to match what the client needs.

Lisa emphasizes building a strong working relationship. She describes her style as gentle and warm, while still offering challenge when it will help progress. Clients can expect clear, usable coping skills and tools taught in straightforward ways.

She has supported people through family conflict, parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, and attachment concerns. She also assists with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, panic attacks, impulsivity, substance problems, and first responder stress.

Her goal is to help people handle life changes and painful memories, and to practice skills that improve day-to-day functioning. She focuses on helping people find ways to manage emotions, reduce harmful behaviors, and work toward a life they value.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship so people feel understood and can explore concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then teaches concrete skills to change behavior and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) mixes acceptance and change strategies, teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That conversation guides whether CBT, DBT, Client-Centered techniques, or a blend will be used.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone's schedule. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in real time and bring everyday problems into the conversation for immediate feedback.
