About Lisa

Lisa Peter is a licensed social worker and mental health practitioner who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She draws on practical, skills-based methods to support clients who are navigating attachment concerns, trauma, self-esteem struggles, panic, obsessive thoughts, and workplace issues.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, she emphasizes building self-compassion and stronger communication as foundations for change. Her work blends structured, evidence-informed techniques with a collaborative tone that invites clients to explore their inner experience and try new strategies.

Lisa incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She aims to help people address areas such as abandonment fears, body image, isolation, and the fallout of separation or major life transitions.

Located in Texas and holding licenses in both Texas and Nebraska, Lisa focuses on practical tools and ongoing personal growth. She frames therapy as a partnership in which clients develop resilience, enhance self-love, and create clearer, more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online therapy with evidence-informed skills

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new perspectives through practical exercises and behavioral experiments; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes building concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques over time so the plan fits the client's situation and pace. This partnership-focused attitude helps tailor skill-building and therapeutic priorities rather than applying a single method to every concern.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit consistent work into busy lives, maintain momentum between sessions, and access care from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
