About Lisa
Lisa Bicket is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience in Illinois. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and the strains of life transitions. Lisa uses a direct, compassionate style to help clients find practical ways forward.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings and figure out small steps that make a difference. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, better sleep habits, and coping plans for intense emotions.
Background and approach
Lisa helps clients build tools that fit their daily lives rather than relying on vague advice. Her work draws on client-centered practices that keep the person's priorities central. She mixes cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when someone wants to set and commit to short-term goals. Lisa often supports people dealing with grief, trauma, family problems, or challenges related to parenting and caregiving. She also works with people managing chronic conditions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies and steady progress over time. Conversations in sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Lisa pays attention to what is getting in the way and helps clients try different approaches until they find what helps.
For people who want a practical, empathetic partner through change, she offers steady support and concrete tools.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy keeps the person's goals and values at the center of work. In online sessions this means the conversation begins with what matters most to the client and adapts each meeting to those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches exercises to try between sessions; it works well over video or messaging because homework and real-time practice are easy to share. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings, which can be used in short phone or text check-ins as well as video meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lisa will collaborate with clients to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan based on what is helping and what feels workable for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, step-by-step skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
