Approaches That Guide Remote Sessions

Lisa draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships shape present-day patterns. This approach explores connection and trust issues and is useful for people working through relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, or patterns that repeat across relationships.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools to manage symptoms and change reactions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for clients processing traumatic memories; it focuses on reducing the emotional intensity tied to past events and supporting integration of those experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work - Lisa collaborates with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the selection of techniques as a team process and adapts strategies as therapy progresses.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
