Background and approach
Lisa also teaches graduate social work courses, especially about the effects of childhood trauma.

She also supports those coping with grief, career strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship stress.

What Lisa works with
Everything Lisa lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Lisa's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing how people respond to strong emotions and past hurt. One approach emphasizes skills for managing intense feelings and daily stressors, teaching practical steps to reduce reactivity and improve coping. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and their effects, helping people make sense of past events and lessen their impact on current behavior.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in everyday life. Together you will try methods that match your needs and adjust the plan as you learn what helps.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework discussion, or ongoing support between sessions. These formats give flexibility for people juggling schedules or who prefer different ways of communicating with a licensed professional.
