About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career stress, and ADHD.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of existential thought to help people name and work with strong feelings. In sessions she focuses on patterns of feeling, thoughts that get stuck, and behavior that keeps problems going. Sessions aim to make emotions more understandable and more manageable in day-to-day life.
Lisa pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment themes, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, communication problems, codependency, infidelity, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, seasonal mood changes, social anxiety, and prejudice or discrimination-related stress.
Her style emphasizes direct conversation about what is happening now, practical strategies people can try between sessions, and steady attention to how emotions affect relationships and choices. Clients can expect clear explanations of approaches and collaborative planning about next steps.
Lisa practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the service's booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and couples notice and name painful emotions and the patterns those emotions create. It focuses on the felt experience of emotion and how that shapes interactions and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and for choosing actions that match one’s values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and uses short exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as needed. That conversation is collaborative, and decisions about focus are revisited over time based on how things are progressing.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require it. It can also let people try talking through relationship or emotional patterns from a familiar setting and bring in real examples from daily life to review with a therapist.
