How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when stress or anxiety is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect present relationships and helps people build safer, more responsive ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time if a different skill set or focus would help more.
Session formats and scheduling details should be confirmed before booking. Ask about the available session delivery options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what will fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care around work, parenting, or health constraints, and they allow for shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings without extra travel.
