About Lisa
Lisa Hilton is a licensed social worker with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. She uses a person-focused style that centers what each client brings to the room. Sessions aim to help people manage strong feelings, repair relationship patterns, and build practical coping skills.
Her background blends client-centered care with cognitive and emotion-focused methods. That means she listens closely, helps people notice unhelpful thinking, and guides them to change how they respond in close relationships.
Background and approach
She draws on attachment ideas to map how early bonds affect current reactions and patterns. Lisa works with a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, sleep problems, parenting stress, and career strain. She also addresses issues like abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.
Anger and intimacy-related struggles are among the problems she helps people face clearly and calmly. Practical skills are part of her approach. Clients learn ways to manage intense emotions, improve communication, and set healthier boundaries.
Therapy sessions often include behavioral tools, mindfulness exercises, and steps to change repetitive habits. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Lisa describes progress as a series of small changes that lead to steadier days and clearer relationships.
She practices in Michigan and offers work in English.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions use this approach to help people notice patterns in intimacy and work on feeling safer in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It is practical and goal-focused, helping people change unhelpful thinking and try new behavior between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift core emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal distress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time. Lisa will help identify which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences, combining listening with skill-building when useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or get support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
