About Lisa
Lisa Hammes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to ADHD and self-esteem. Her tone is warm and approachable, with a readiness to listen and a touch of humor when it fits.
She prefers short, direct conversations that get to what matters most.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps - identifying patterns, trying new coping skills, and building on strengths people already have. Lisa aims to meet each person where they are instead of forcing one method for everyone. Her work blends several approaches to match a client’s needs.
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas help with emotional regulation and impulsivity. Mindfulness practices are used to strengthen awareness and reduce reactivity.
Lisa also draws on client-centered principles, keeping the person’s goals at the center of the process. She uses solution-focused ideas when a short-term plan makes sense, and she can incorporate insight-oriented elements from Jungian work if someone wants to explore deeper life meaning. Outside the room she brings over a decade of experience supporting people through change, loss, and difficult life events.
Her practical style aims to make therapy useful and clear, with steps people can try between appointments.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and supporting a person to find their own solutions and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns and cope with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean trying CBT skills first, adding mindfulness exercises, or using client-centered conversations to explore deeper concerns.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or an easier way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options let people weave therapy into their routine while using familiar therapeutic tools.
