About Lisa
Lisa Simpson is an Indiana licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience working with adults and teens. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Lisa also addresses relationship strain, grief, addiction-related issues, and problems that stem from family of origin or blended family situations.
She aims to help people who find daily tasks harder after trauma or who notice their relationships have become strained. Sessions often include talking through upsetting experiences, identifying patterns that contribute to mood or behavior problems, and practicing small changes that make daily life more manageable. Lisa describes common signs she works with, such as trouble sleeping, low interest in activities, or difficulty concentrating.
Her work draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and psychodynamic ideas. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her, examining thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and looking at how past relationships influence current reactions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding their own reasons for change.
People who contact her can expect straightforward discussion about what is happening at home and what practical steps might help. She also brings elements of Jungian therapy for clients interested in deeper meaning or symbolic material. Lisa supports adults navigating adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, and the stresses of blended family life.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. If you are managing family stress, parenting strain, or life changes that feel overwhelming, Lisa works to create an understandable plan and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and perspective. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, validation, and identifying what the client wants to change or understand. It is useful for relationship strain, parenting stress, and emotional overwhelm.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in an online setting works by spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Clients and the therapist set concrete goals, try brief experiments between sessions, and track small changes to mood or behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early patterns shape current responses. In online work this can mean noticing recurring themes in relationships and connecting them to present difficulties like family conflict or commitment issues.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what feels most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as work progresses and as different problems come into focus.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find digital work helps sustain regular momentum between sessions and fits better around parenting and job responsibilities.
