Lisa Lee-Briggs , LMFT

Lisa Lee-Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with 13 years of professional experience. She works with individuals, couples, and families on relationship and family conflicts, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, mood and anxiety disorders, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body-image issues, anger and self-esteem difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions. As an LMFT - which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversation and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

She approaches therapy with a straightforward, collaborative stance that helps clients uncover their own answers while offering guidance and practical strategies to move forward. She has particular strength in couples and family communication, helping people replace blame with clearer understanding and more effective ways to convey meaning. Lisa believes that repair is possible in many relationships when members are willing to work toward that goal.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gestalt techniques, along with a blend of additional therapies chosen to fit the client and situation. She focuses on finding approaches that align with each client’s goals and preferences to support meaningful progress.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Relationship and Family Care

Lisa Lee-Briggs commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gestalt techniques in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, impulse control, and many practical life challenges. Gestalt techniques emphasize present-moment awareness and how people relate to themselves and others, helping with communication, emotional expression, and relational dynamics.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Lisa collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and unique situations, then selects or combines techniques that best support progress. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions to what feels most effective for each person and family.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives and to continue therapy during life transitions, while preserving continuity with a therapist who understands relationship and family concerns.
