About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Daniel is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with two decades of clinical experience using evidence-informed methods to help people pursue clearer thinking and improved coping.

Background and approach

Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches, she focuses on practical skills and thoughtful reflection to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related life transitions. Her work honors each person’s background and priorities, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs.

Dr. Daniel also attends to a broad range of additional concerns such as ADHD, caregiver stress, body image, blended family issues, and chronic illness, drawing on therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate.

Clients can expect a respectful, compassionate stance that emphasizes collaboration and practical tools. She acknowledges the courage involved in seeking change and aims to support and empower people as they work toward more satisfying, manageable lives.

Online approaches grounded in skills and connection

Dr. Daniel commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful goals, which can help with grief, chronic worry, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and the specific challenges a client brings, then tailors methods and tools accordingly so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical, making it easier to stay engaged with therapy while balancing life commitments.
