About Lisa
Lisa Hammes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and relationship concerns. Lisa also supports people dealing with grief, codependency, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
She brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and does not shy from using gentle humor when appropriate. Lisa aims to meet each person where they are and to build from the strengths they already have. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, focused on what can change in daily life.
Lisa draws on a range of approaches to fit different needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Dialectical skills are used to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness.
She describes her overall stance as collaborative and eclectic, mixing methods to suit the individual rather than following a single recipe. Lisa emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and that therapy is a team effort to try out new ways of coping.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused work, and practical skills they can use between sessions. Lisa encourages small, doable steps toward clearer boundaries, healthier patterns, and improved daily functioning.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship so the client feels heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT tools can help when feelings feel overwhelming and when people want more stability in their reactions and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration shapes which tools and exercises are used in sessions and between appointments.
