About Lisa
Lisa Hilton is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and other life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and career-related stress.
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. In sessions she focuses on emotions and relationship patterns that are often hard to name. She helps clients notice how feelings and reactions shape day-to-day interactions and choices.
Lisa uses practical, skills-informed methods when helpful, including elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also brings mindful techniques into conversations about stress, body image, chronic illness, and caregiving challenges. These tools are used to support clearer thinking and steadier emotion regulation.
Clients often raise concerns about abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and chronic pain or illness. Lisa aims to help people identify patterns that cause distress and then practice different ways of responding. Sessions involve talking through situations, trying new strategies, and reflecting on what changes feel right.
She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Fees vary by region and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and interaction patterns affect relationships and individual distress. In an online session this means naming hard-to-identify feelings and tracing how they show up in day-to-day behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connection needs and how early bonds shape current relationships, which helps when people want to understand recurring relationship or intimacy patterns.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective and supports exploring goals at the client’s pace. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, listening-focused space to sort priorities and make decisions. Deciding which of these approaches to emphasize is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to match methods to needs, goals, and preferences rather than choosing one in isolation.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time, and choosing a setting that makes it easier to attend regularly. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to continue therapy across locations and to schedule shorter check-ins when needed.
