Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. Before becoming an LCPC she worked many years in mental health settings serving adults with serious psychiatric needs, and more recently has focused on individual therapy and resource-sharing.

How Lisa applies therapeutic methods in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to what the person says and reflecting it back. This approach helps clarify personal goals and priorities and is useful when someone is unsure what matters next.Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. These techniques can help with anxiety, grief, and managing intense emotions during life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She uses this information to recommend which methods to try and adjusts them as the client learns what works.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
