About Lisa

Lisa Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and related struggles listed in her profile.

Lisa works with adults who are navigating big changes or ongoing pressures at home. She uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people manage day-to-day problems. Sessions cover things like coping while parenting, dealing with strained relationships at home, and finding steadiness after loss or trauma.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, grief, sexual and intimacy-related concerns, and addictive behaviors. She blends approaches to match what each person needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills to address thinking and coping patterns. She also uses narrative and Jungian ideas to look at life stories and personal meaning.

In a typical session she helps people identify small, concrete steps they can try between meetings. She works with themes such as attachment, codependency, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and the effects of chronic illness. Lisa also supports people facing career stress, abandonment issues, and the emotional fallout of major life events.

Her style is direct and practical. She offers guidance, listening, and approaches aimed at restoring a sense of value and forward motion. People who want to focus on workable changes and clearer thinking about family and parenting concerns may find her approach helpful.

How sessions work

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or patterns that cause conflict. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, stress, and emotional regulation.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Over the first few sessions she adjusts methods based on what helps most, mixing practical CBT exercises with narrative or Jungian reflections when useful.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Discuss available formats when you schedule so sessions can be arranged to fit daily life and goals.
