About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 32 years of front-line experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, or addictive patterns. Lisa aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away.
She listens closely to how relationships and family history shape current struggles. That includes attention to attachment, codependency, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and issues that come from prejudice or discrimination. Lisa also supports people facing life transitions, grief, intimacy concerns, or career and parenting stress.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Lisa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. A client-centered stance keeps the work focused on each person’s pace and priorities.
Sessions emphasize honest talk, practical skills, and real-world problem solving. Lisa pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, such as control issues, impulsivity, or obsessive behaviors, and she helps build alternatives that fit daily life. She also works with emotional tasks like processing trauma, grief, and complicated loss.
Lisa practices in Michigan and conducts work in English. People who are considering therapy can expect a collaborative process that mixes listening with concrete tools for coping and change.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and life changes by shifting what matters over what feels comfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, obsessive behaviors, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth; this helps people build confidence and clarity about personal goals.Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss different methods and tailor the mix to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps clarify which tools will be most useful and how to pace the work.
