About Lisa

Lisa Hess offers warm, honest therapeutic support for adults seeking practical tools and deeper self-understanding. With 15 years of clinical experience as an LPC in Michigan, she helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions find clearer direction and renewed confidence.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on everyday struggles such as sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family dynamics, career questions, and challenges associated with ADHD. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and narrative approaches to tailor therapy to each person's values and goals.

Sessions emphasize collaborative problem solving, exploring personal meaning, and building skills to manage emotions and behaviors. Lisa brings compassion, honesty, and a touch of humor to the therapeutic relationship, creating space for clients to voice fears and try new ways of coping.

Clients can expect a practical orientation toward solutions along with attention to personal growth and resilience. Her aim is to help people navigate difficult seasons and emerge with greater self-awareness, patience, and the capacity to act in ways that better reflect their priorities and strengths.

Approach to Online Therapy and Practical Methods

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, learn new coping skills, and address issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work, offering a supportive, empathetic space where a person’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions and helps build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques may shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
