About Lisa
Lisa Briggs is a Michigan-licensed social worker with 12 years of clinical experience who focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and navigating life changes.
Background and approach
As an LMSW she brings a strengths-based perspective that honors each person's own expertise about their life while offering structure and tools to manage difficult emotions and transitions. Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling, informing a compassionate approach to loss and bereavement.
Lisa blends client-centered work with goal-oriented techniques to tailor care to each individual's needs. She encourages clients to identify their values and resources, then uses practical strategies to address symptoms and build coping skills.
Seeking therapy is framed as a courageous step, and she aims to support and empower people as they take those first steps toward meaningful change. Therapy with Lisa is collaborative and respectful, guided by attention to personal strengths and real-world solutions.
She works with clients who are ready to explore grief or stress, develop healthier self-esteem, and navigate life transitions with clearer coping strategies and more confidence.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through structured exercises and practical skill building. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and unconditional regard so clients can explore feelings and find their own solutions in a supportive environment.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Lisa works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She views therapy as a partnership and will adapt strategies over time based on what helps the client make progress and feel more capable.
Online therapy with Lisa is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, or medical commitments, and they allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most manageable for them.
