Lisa Stammerjohann

Lisa Stammerjohann, LPC, brings 35 years of counseling experience to people facing major life stresses and transitions. She practices in New Jersey and offers grounded, person-focused care that respects each client's story. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career strain, and anger. She also addresses grief, addiction-related concerns, sleep problems, and intimacy issues.

Her approach blends practical strategies with attention to personal meaning. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-driven steps. Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide how she listens and responds in sessions.

Clients can expect straightforward tools for coping and real conversations about life changes. Lisa pays attention to family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of aging without turning sessions into a lecture. She also helps people facing midlife shifts, fertility-related stress, and feelings of emptiness.

Over decades of practice she has supported people through trauma, forgiveness work, and rebuilding after loss. Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, trying practical exercises between meetings, and tracking progress over time. Her aim is to help people manage strong emotions like anger and find steadier ground.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions where values guide decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying practical changes in behavior to reduce distress and improve sleep, mood, or daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and uses empathic listening to build trust and clarify goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can combine techniques so clients try different tools and keep what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue steady care during big life changes and use exercises between sessions in everyday settings.
