About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and loss. Lisa aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through painful problems and find clearer next steps.
She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's goals at the center of therapy. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, and treatment plans are adjusted as progress unfolds. Lisa also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for managing intense emotions and building practical coping tools. Motivational interviewing can help when someone is ambivalent about change, such as with substance use or lifestyle shifts. Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe difficult stories and reclaim a sense of agency.
Lisa works with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, codependency, parenting strain, caregiver stress, grief, addiction, and ADHD. She also addresses issues like abandonment, guilt and shame, and communication or control problems.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She helps clients set clear, achievable goals and practices concrete skills between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy places the person and their goals at the center of each session. Online sessions focus on active listening and collaborative planning so clients set the pace and direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen anxiety or depression, and then practices concrete exercises to change those patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance through step-by-step practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving demands. They also let clients use different ways of checking in, such as shorter appointments when life is hectic or camera-off conversations when that feels more comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so learning and skill-building continue between meetings.
