How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying core emotions and shifting interaction patterns. In online work this looks like guiding a person to name feelings, notice how they respond, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions toward them while making room for difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical techniques and experiments to test different responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She combines emotional exploration with skills-based work so clients get both insight and practical tools.
Session formats are not specified in the provided information, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, save travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is not possible. They also let people work from a quieter location, use less bandwidth by turning off video, or schedule sessions that line up with work or caregiving commitments.
