Lisa Williams

Lisa Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, anger, and depression. She aims to meet clients where they are and build a plan that fits their needs.

She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals in focus. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, so clients help shape the pace and priorities. Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation when people feel overwhelmed.

Her approach also weaves in elements of motivational interviewing to strengthen resolve for change and narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult life stories. Those tools are applied plainly - talking through what’s happening now, setting small goals, and practicing ways to respond differently between sessions.

Clients commonly bring concerns about relationship strain, parenting stress, work and career pressures, caregiver burnout, and trauma or abuse. Lisa also supports people facing substance use struggles, codependency, and the emotional impact of illness or loss. She works with impulsivity, guilt, and feelings of emptiness by setting concrete steps forward.

If you want a respectful, steady therapist who listens and helps you try things that can change daily life, this therapist frames progress as manageable steps. To begin, follow the site guidance to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lisa often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on listening, understanding priorities, and shaping the plan around what the person values. That approach helps people feel heard and steers goal-setting in a way that fits real life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT in sessions involves identifying one or two small changes to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and impulse control are issues; these skills teach concrete ways to manage intense feelings in the moment.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk through what’s been tried, what works, and what feels doable. Together they set goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

Session format details are not listed in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT worksheets or DBT skill coaching to suit each person’s routine and goals.
