About Lisa
Lisa Bicket is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 22 years of experience to her work in Illinois. She focuses on practical help for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on listening first and then offering clear steps to move forward.
She uses a client-centered approach that begins by hearing each person's story and priorities.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques are added when people want ways to calm their attention and manage strong emotions. Lisa helps people sort through relationship and family challenges, address communication problems, and manage caregiving strain or burnout.
She also supports those facing grief, trauma, or long-term health and pain issues by breaking problems into manageable parts and focusing on small, steady changes. Work with her typically involves setting concrete goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and checking progress together. She leans toward solution-focused conversations when time is limited and toward deeper exploration when people want it.
Her sessions are conversational and practical. People leave with techniques they can try right away, and the plan can be adjusted as needs change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's priorities and values. It starts by listening, then follows the client's lead so goals match real-life needs; this helps when people want supportive, personalized change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions teach practical exercises to notice unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and reduce anxiety or low mood over time.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with stress, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions day to day.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, lifestyle, and what feels most useful in practice. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while adapting to a person's schedule and needs.
