About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, or major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Her sessions focus on clear communication and practical skills. She helps clients understand patterns that fuel anger and impulsivity. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, relationship strain, and workplace or caregiving stress.
Background and approach
Lisa uses a mix of approaches tailored to the individual. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and rewrite them. She combines this with client-centered listening to make space for a person’s own values and goals.
She also brings acceptance and commitment ideas that help people act in line with what matters to them, even when emotions run high. Emotionally-focused work helps when relationship hurts and attachment issues are central to the problem. Based in Michigan, Lisa brings long experience working with adults facing change, addiction concerns, obsessive patterns, social anxiety, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people build better coping habits and clearer choices. Clients can expect a collaborative plan that names a few clear steps to try between sessions. Lisa helps people track what’s working and adjusts plans as needed to keep progress moving.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small meaningful actions despite difficult feelings. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience, offering empathic listening and support so clients feel heard and can set their own goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so techniques that help most can be emphasized and others set aside.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and are useful when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility for different rhythms of work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
