About Lisa

Lisa Draper is a licensed professional counselor based in Michigan who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice and draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based methods, and she is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma-related symptoms. Lisa aims to meet clients where they are, helping them build skills for coping, making values-based choices, and reducing barriers that keep them feeling stuck.

Lisa holds LPC credentials in Michigan and brings a direct, compassionate style to sessions. She accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Prospective clients are invited to begin the intake process to explore whether her way of working fits their goals and challenges.

Approaches That Translate to Online Therapy

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. CBT often involves learning new ways of responding to situations and practicing changes between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; it helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while building acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic pain, life transitions, and persistent worry. She also incorporates client-centered principles, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported as they set goals.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and may combine methods to suit changing priorities over time. That working partnership guides choices about which interventions to try and what to prioritize in sessions.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between meetings, and adapt care to what fits best for each person.
