About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction issues, grief, anger, and depression. She speaks plain language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Her approach begins with listening. She treats people with respect and sensitivity and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical strategies that can be used between meetings, and on clear goals the client wants to reach.
Background and approach
Lisa draws on several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. She uses these tools to help people change unhelpful thinking, build emotion regulation skills, and increase motivation for healthy choices. Common concerns she addresses include relationship strain, parenting stress, career pressure, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of major life changes.
ADHD is also listed among her focus areas for people looking for help with attention, impulsivity, or organizing daily life. Practical matters are part of the work. Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and reframing unhelpful stories about oneself.
Lisa aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can try new ways of coping and notice progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches suited for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people make their own sense of problems. This approach is useful when someone needs empathic, steady support through a stressful time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often includes short exercises and homework like tracking triggers or testing new ways of responding, which work well in online sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It emphasizes distress tolerance and emotion regulation, which can be practiced in session and applied in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and day-to-day routine. Clients and the therapist adjust tools over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, daily coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. Together these options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
