About Lisa
Lisa Lee-Briggs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 13 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, mood problems, grief, and addictive behaviors. She also works with concerns such as eating and body image, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She favors a straightforward, practical approach. Conversations aim to clarify what is getting in the way and identify small, usable steps forward. Sessions look at how communication, expectations, and past patterns affect day-to-day life at home.
Lisa uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavior approaches and experiential methods such as Gestalt. She combines these with additional approaches chosen to fit each person and situation. The focus is on learning different ways to express needs and manage strong emotions.
Parents and adults concerned about blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, family of origin problems, or codependency will find work here that attends to both feelings and behavior. She also addresses trauma, domestic violence history, and disruptive mood symptoms with practical strategies and pacing set by the client.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented when useful, with time spent practicing communication and problem-solving. Lisa speaks English and French and works from her California license to support people navigating the stresses of home life.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach helps with mood, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and patterns that affect relationships. She also uses Gestalt-informed, experiential work that focuses on present-moment awareness and how people communicate in sessions, which can reveal interaction patterns that show up at home.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice communication skills between appointments in real-life contexts. Licensed professionals can discuss which way of meeting will best support the client's goals and day-to-day routines.
