How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete coping skills. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or behavior patterns.She also works from an attachment-based perspective, looking at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and connections with others. This can be useful when addressing intimacy-related problems, abandonment concerns, or family of origin issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments happen over time based on what the person says works or doesn't work.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking.
