Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop different ways of responding. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and relationship problems because it focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to improve daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people explore their ambivalence about change and strengthen their own motivation. It is commonly applied when addressing addictions, lifestyle changes, and decisions about treatment.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences while teaching coping strategies to reduce distress. This approach supports recovery from trauma and abuse by integrating safety, stabilization, and gradual processing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as clients make progress and as priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work for them, make scheduling easier around busy lives, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on comfort and need.
