Lisa Warden

Lisa Warden is a licensed social worker who brings 16 years of clinical experience to her practice. She foregrounds the connection between body and mind, a perspective shaped in part by earlier work as a massage therapist. Lisa aims to help people move past patterns that keep them stuck and return to a fuller life.

She has spent much of her career supporting people in recovery from trauma, addiction, and personality-related difficulties. Those problems often leave people living in a constant state of survival, and she focuses on helping them reclaim a sense of safety and possibility. Lisa finds it rewarding to see clients begin to thrive after enduring intense hardship.

Her approach is warm and flexible. She meets people where they are and uses straightforward skills and encouragement to help them reach practical goals. Humor appears naturally in sessions when it fits the moment.

Lisa uses several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions, selecting tools to match each person's needs. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, self-esteem, and ADHD among others.

Sessions are offered in English and Lisa sees people in Michigan. She also accepts international clients. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to begin the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Lisa holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential, LMSW, and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. These credentials reflect her training and years in practice.

How approaches like CBT and EMDR work online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and build on their own strengths when facing stress or relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practice. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact; it involves structured steps that can be adapted to many care settings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and personal preferences together and then choose or combine methods that feel most useful. This collaborative process helps tailor the work to what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a meeting during a midday break or avoiding travel time. It can also reduce the need to be on camera if someone prefers an audio-only check-in or a shorter session. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule and needs.
