About Lisa

Lisa Maulding Anthony is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, substance-related problems, communication and control concerns, and feelings of emptiness.

She uses a mix of approaches in session, including cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at thoughts and actions. Attachment-based work is used to understand relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions. Hypnotherapy is offered as one tool some clients find useful for accessing deeper change.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Lisa aims to help people name what feels off, spot patterns that keep them stuck, and practice different ways of responding. Therapy often includes learning simple skills to manage anxiety and grounding methods for trauma or grief symptoms.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens for what matters most, suggests practical steps, and adjusts methods as needs shift. People can expect a mix of talking, behavioral experiments, and skill practice rather than long lectures.

Lived experience and clinical time shape her perspective after two and a half decades of work. Many clients come seeking direction after a major life change or when feelings of emptiness or low self-worth become overwhelming. She supports people who want clearer priorities and steadier coping as they consider what comes next.

Approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention from unhelpful thoughts to meaningful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change patterns that sustain anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful reactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connection patterns. It can be useful for people wrestling with abandonment, codependency, or recurring relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative testing helps narrow what feels most helpful over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work to remote sessions so clients can practice skills and experiments between meetings.
