About Lisa
Lisa Stammerjohann is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem problems, career changes, grief, and the question of life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.
Her practice often centers on people navigating major life shifts. She helps clients who feel isolated, empty, or stuck after relationship changes, retirement, health challenges, or other transitions. Lisa draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and increase day-to-day coping.
She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. That can mean talking through family of origin issues, commitment concerns, or intimacy-related problems. She makes space to discuss guilt, shame, forgiveness, and problems tied to caregiving or aging.
Practical skills are part of her work. That includes planning small behavior changes, practicing new ways to cope with anger or sleep problems, and learning tools for managing addiction or compassion fatigue. She explains techniques clearly and helps clients try them between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It helps people who feel stuck or aimless to notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving people space to name their goals and make choices about change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed while checking progress over time.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and can be chosen to match comfort with video or audio. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice so therapy can fit into everyday life without requiring long blocks of time.
