About Lisa
Lisa Zwagerman is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin who combines counseling, career coaching, and life guidance. She draws on three years of experience helping people navigate big changes and everyday stressors. Lisa aims to be warm, direct, and encouraging in sessions.
She sees counseling as a partnership where the client’s goals lead the work. Her practical focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career transitions, and grief.
Background and approach
Lisa has worked with people in a range of life stages, including new parents and those in the medical field, and she brings that variety into each conversation. Lisa relies on client-centered methods and uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also draws from mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build small, usable changes.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and skill-oriented, with attention to each person’s strengths. Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that balances empathy with practical steps. Lisa describes herself as joyful and appropriately empathetic, aiming to support resilience and clearer decision making.
She emphasizes courage in seeking help and works alongside clients rather than telling them what to do. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lisa holds the LPC credential, licensed in Wisconsin, and brings a coaching-informed perspective when relevant.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Lisa uses client-centered therapy to start most relationships, which means sessions focus on the person’s own goals and pace while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and emotions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then tests new, manageable ways of responding. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions in clear steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that fit their situation, goals, and preferences and may combine methods as issues evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth varies, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
