About Lisa
Lisa Patton is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and mood difficulties. She also addresses trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Patton uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify small steps they can try between sessions. When parenting or family strains are a central issue she focuses on practical communication and coping strategies that fit everyday life.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In practice this means sessions can include reflective listening, problem-solving, and trying out new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. These tools are often paired with concrete tasks to practice outside sessions.
People come to her for help with specific events like grief, infidelity, or postpartum depression as well as ongoing struggles such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or mood swings. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care related concerns and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect her experience working with adults across a range of life changes. To begin, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to each person. In sessions this looks like reflective conversation and helping clients clarify their concerns and goals. It is useful for people coping with grief, relationship strain, or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying thought patterns, trying behavioral experiments, and using short exercises to reduce anxiety or manage mood. This approach is commonly used for panic, obsessive thoughts, and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to prioritize. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to follow through on weekly practice when sessions fit into ordinary routines.
