About Lisa
She uses approaches that center the person and their goals. Sessions often draw on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are brought in when calm, grounding, and emotion regulation are useful.
Lisa has worked across a wide range of life challenges including family and relationship problems, trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, and coping with caregiving or serious illness. She describes herself as compassionate and practical, helping people identify strengths and take small steps toward change. Her practice includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life concerns.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, reflects, and then helps people try tools that fit their daily life. People looking for help in Mississippi can expect a therapist who emphasizes steady progress and realistic goals.
To start, Lisa asks people to consider their current struggles and goals so sessions can focus on what matters most. She encourages proactive steps in mental health and supports clients as they work toward feeling more able to handle life’s changes.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work
Lisa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice values and take small actions that match those values, which can be useful for life changes and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current challenges, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Clients and the therapist adjust methods as they learn what helps best for real-life situations.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice coping skills between appointments in the settings where problems actually occur. Licensed professionals can help tailor session content so tools learned online transfer to everyday life.
