About Lisa

Lisa Adler is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) practicing in South Dakota with 26 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and grief. Her practice also addresses parenting challenges, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, and codependency-related patterns.

Lisa sees people who are tired of putting others first and who want clearer boundaries and more balanced relationships. She treats practical problems like trouble saying no, repeated caretaking, or living around someone else’s moods or crises. She also supports people managing career stress, burnout, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She talks frankly about the situation and helps clients recognize strengths they already have. Sessions focus on concrete strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns rather than jargon or abstract theory.

Lisa is direct in assessment and method. She checks messages a few times per day and aims to respond promptly while balancing other responsibilities. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session. Lisa will collaborate with each person to set clear goals and practical next steps that fit their life.

How sessions work

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Lisa bases work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavioral change. One approach emphasizes practical problem-solving and skill practice to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. This helps when stress or worry make it hard to function or rest. Another approach targets relationship patterns and boundaries, helping people identify repeating behaviors and try different, manageable responses to improve interactions and reduce caretaking overload.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest methods most likely to meet those goals. She works with clients to test strategies, adjust them, and track what is helpful over time rather than promising a single solution upfront.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, or allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can be useful for shorter updates or when a quiet space is limited. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and needs.
