About Lisa

Background and approach

Lisa approaches clients as partners in the work, aiming to bolster resilience and build skills that support more satisfying day-to-day functioning and relationships. Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, sleeping problems, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside existential approaches to help people explore meaning, values, and practical strategies for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online access



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive strategies; it is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep difficulties through practical skill-building and structured exercises. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, personal values, and life choices, supporting clients who are grappling with life transitions, grief, or questions about purpose and identity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adapt techniques so the work stays relevant and useful as circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility needs and let clients engage with licensed professionals from locations within Florida. The format can support continuity of care and let therapeutic work continue in ways that suit different communication styles and daily routines.
