How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to structure online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and learning small, concrete actions to build a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.The right approach is something to discover together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision making helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily around work or caregiving, allow quicker check-ins on busy days, and make it simpler to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques for online sessions so the work stays focused and practical.
