About Lisa

Lisa Grady is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. People contact her when life throws an unexpected change or when long-standing patterns like isolation, shame, or impulsivity become overwhelming.

She has a long history in substance use counseling and work in correctional settings. That included counseling people who were incarcerated and supporting those with co-occurring disorders. She also ran group counseling and individual sessions for people reintegrating after incarceration, and for those on probation or parole.

Over time she moved into community-based practice, working with adults seeking help for practical life challenges. Her background includes trauma-informed care and work with military-affiliated clients. She draws on that experience when helping people manage guilt, control issues, communication problems, and blended family stresses.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, domestic violence histories, and first responder stress. She aims to help people build skills to manage impulses, reduce isolation, and handle divorce or separation stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment or attachment concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Texas. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions

Evidence-based approaches are used to address addiction, trauma, and mood concerns in straightforward ways. One technique focuses on building specific coping skills for anxiety and impulse control, teaching steps people can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve decision making.

Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed care methods that help people understand how past events affect current behavior. That work often involves pacing, grounding exercises, and learning safer ways to respond to triggers so daily functioning improves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to decide which technique or combination to try. This collaborative process helps match methods to the problems a person brings, rather than assuming a single solution.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during breaks. They also let people continue work with a licensed professional when relocating within the same state or managing constraints on time.
