Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lisa uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people who need support processing emotions, building self-awareness, and strengthening self-worth. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and related concerns. In addition, hypnotherapy may be offered as a complementary tool to aid relaxation, address habits and support behaviour change when appropriate.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Lisa works with clients to explore their goals, preferences and needs, and together they determine which methods will be most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living outside the therapist’s immediate area. These formats make it possible to maintain regular contact, adjust session timing as needed and continue work on skills and strategies between sessions, while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists who understand each client’s unique situation.
