About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Hammons is a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those coping with major life changes and people who want more confidence and motivation. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
She aims to make sessions feel calm and nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about hard topics. Conversations typically cover current struggles, patterns that keep problems going, and small changes that can improve daily life. Lisa emphasizes building skills for handling intense feelings and repairing strained communication.
Her background includes many years working with adults facing transitions and caregiving stress, as well as concerns such as body image, codependency, and grief after divorce or separation. That experience informs how she helps people set realistic goals and try new behaviors in manageable steps.
In session she listens closely and offers clear suggestions rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She encourages homework that fits real life, like short experiments in communication or simple routines to reduce anxiety. Progress is measured by what feels different day to day rather than only by labels.
People who choose Lisa often want a practical partner who balances empathy with direct feedback. She supports clients as they practice new skills, adjust expectations, and build more satisfying daily routines.
How evidence-based techniques guide online care
Many of the techniques Lisa uses focus on teaching concrete skills people can use right away. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method is practical for day-to-day stress and low self-esteem issues.Another useful technique centers on communication skills and behavior change. It breaks big problems into small, doable steps such as setting a boundary, practicing a short conversation, or trying a new routine. This approach aims to improve relationships and reduce codependent patterns by building confidence in how someone acts over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and what feels workable in everyday life. Changes are tried in small steps and reviewed to see what helps most.
