About Lisa

Lisa Patton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques to help people addressing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

With seven years of practice in Alabama, she emphasizes practical skills and compassionate listening to support clients navigating life transitions and emotional overwhelm. Patton aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop clearer coping strategies.

Her work includes support for sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse recovery, and conditions such as bipolar disorder, panic, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. She also attends to issues around adoption and foster care, communication problems, infidelity, postpartum depression, and social anxiety.

Clients can expect an approach that balances structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with a person-centered stance that prioritizes empathy and collaboration. Patton encourages those taking the first step toward therapy, offering guidance through assessment and goal-setting to tailor care to each person's needs.

Using CBT and Client-Centered Methods Online



Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies like behavioral experiments and skills practice; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and sleep problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore feelings and develop self-directed insight and resilience, which can be particularly helpful for grief, relationship issues, and self-esteem work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adapt methods so that structured techniques and empathic support fit together in a way that matches preferences and challenges. This collaboration helps tailor interventions over time rather than assuming a single method will suit everyone from the start.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote communication. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or another convenient location.
