About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or struggles with addiction. Conversations are respectful and straightforward, with an emphasis on what will help now.
In sessions she uses a client-centered stance, listening first to what matters to the person in front of her. She then draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies to help change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing and narrative work are also used to clarify values and rewrite unhelpful self-stories. Parents seeking help with parenting-related stress, caregiver burden, or balancing work and home life will find practical tools and problem-solving strategies. She also addresses relationship concerns, anger, impulsivity, and issues tied to major life changes like divorce or illness.
Lisa adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. That may mean short-term solution-focused work, or a longer path that builds emotion regulation and self-esteem. Her approach combines listening, skill-building, and real-world steps you can try between sessions.
Sessions are offered from Texas in English. She supports people through transitions, relapse prevention, grief processing, and managing compassion fatigue with a mix of empathy and actionable guidance.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's concerns and goals. Online sessions give space for open conversation and for the therapist to reflect what matters most so together you can set clear priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new responses, and assigning simple exercises to try between meetings to see what changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can help with anger, impulsivity, and strong emotions by breaking skills into short practices that can be reviewed in video or text formats.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans as progress is tracked. That process helps find what fits your life and what feels realistic to maintain.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills, or writing through a concern when speaking feels hard. These options make it easier to build therapy into a busy life.
