About Lisa
Lisa Hilton is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She uses a client-centered style that focuses on what each person brings to the room. Lisa pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, including codependency and attachment issues.
Her practical work often targets everyday struggles like sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and balancing work and family demands. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and major life changes. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady skill building so progress feels tangible.
Lisa draws on approaches such as attachment-focused work, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotionally-focused methods to repair relationships and reduce distress. She also uses dialectical strategies and mindfulness to help people tolerate strong emotions and respond differently to triggers. The emphasis is on skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Clients can expect respectful listening, straightforward feedback, and collaborative planning. Lisa helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and make decisions that fit their values. She frames change as gradual and practical rather than quick or dramatic.
Based in Michigan, Lisa works with adults across a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, career stress, intimacy issues, and mood disorders. Her approach is steady and person-focused, aimed at helping people build more satisfying relationships and a more manageable daily life.
How attachment and skill-based work translate to online therapy
Lisa commonly uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches in her work. Attachment-based therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections affect current relationships; it helps people improve intimacy and manage fears of abandonment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lisa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and useful.
The practical benefits of doing this work remotely include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are more consistent. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick regroup is needed and make it simpler to continue care across locations.
