About Lisa
Lisa Maulding Anthony is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, or who are coping with trauma and abuse. Lisa uses a straightforward, respectful approach that focuses on what the person wants to change.
Her sessions are collaborative. She listens closely, helps people name patterns that keep them stuck, and works with them to try different ways of responding. That practical focus can include learning new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or trying relaxation and guided imagery techniques.
Lisa draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods to address thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and goals, and attachment-based work to look at relational patterns. She also offers clinical hypnotherapy as one option for people who find guided imagery and focused attention helpful.
Over 25 years she has supported clients through issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, substance struggles, domestic violence, body image, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Her work emphasizes small, manageable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
People who choose Lisa can expect a calm, respectful clinician who helps them set clear goals and build practical skills. To begin, she asks about current needs and priorities and tailors the work to fit each person’s situation.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values while learning to tolerate uncomfortable feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood, and difficulty managing impulses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses, which can help with codependency, trust issues, and repeated relationship difficulty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use techniques like guided imagery or breath work during sessions from wherever they are able to participate, and the therapist and client can collaborate on the rhythm and length of meetings to match real-world needs.
