About Lisa
Lisa Patton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a client-centered approach to guide conversations and goal-setting. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Lisa welcomes honest talk about worries, losses, and everyday pressures.
For seven years she has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and struggles around parenting. She also helps with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Trauma, abuse, and issues like postpartum depression and social anxiety are included in her focus areas.
Her sessions aim to be a judgment-free space where thoughts and feelings can be named and understood. Lisa combines Client-Centered Therapy with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Conversations lead to small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care challenges, communication struggles, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, and recovery from sexual assault. Obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and feelings of isolation are other concerns she addresses.
Lisa encourages anyone nervous about starting therapy to recognize that taking the first step matters. She helps people set realistic goals and adjusts the work to suit each person’s pace and needs.
How Client-Centered and CBT Work in Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the person’s lead. It creates space for people to say what matters and decide the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and then tests small changes in thinking and behavior to see what helps. Both approaches are practical and can be used to address anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, and many daily struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will try different techniques when needed. This is a collaborative process so the plan can shift as progress happens or priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals, including counselors who use client-centered and CBT methods, can tailor session length and focus to match what is most useful for each person.
