Lisa Maulding AnthonyLMHC

Lisa Maulding Anthony is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. Her tone is calm and practical, focused on clear steps rather than jargon. She approaches therapy as a partnership. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause pain and to try new ways of responding. Lisa uses a mix of methods that can include cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy to help people practice different behaviors and feel steadier day to day. Her background includes long experience supporting people through loss, trauma, and complicated feelings around attachment and abandonment. Over the years she has helped clients work on communication problems, codependency, substance-related concerns, and issues tied to body image and guilt. In-session work tends to be straightforward and goal-focused. Lisa listens first, then offers techniques that fit a person’s needs, such as mindfulness exercises, thought-challenging, or guided imagery. Progress is measured by practical change - better sleep, fewer panic moments, clearer decision making. Clients are encouraged to set concrete goals and to practice skills between sessions. She believes small, consistent efforts lead to meaningful shifts. People who want empathic, steady support during difficult life transitions may find her style helpful.

Approaches that translate well to remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, avoidance, and feeling stuck by teaching practical skills for staying present and acting despite difficult feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. It can be useful for people who struggle with abandonment, trust, or closeness, guiding conversations that rebuild more secure ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches concrete steps to change thoughts and behaviors that fuel depression and anxiety. It includes simple homework and practice that people can use between sessions to reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients can expect the plan to be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life, letting people consult with a licensed professional without long travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins, flexibility around timing, and the chance to practice skills in the settings where challenges occur.
