Lisa Connelly, LPC

Lisa Connelly is an LPC Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and codependency. Lisa helps people untangle patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and losing a sense of self in close relationships.

Her approach blends practical skills with attention to how past relationships shape current behavior. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Sessions focus on readable goals and small, concrete steps rather than lengthy theory.

Lisa has worked in a range of clinical settings across inpatient, residential, outpatient, and private practice contexts. That background informs how she supports people coping with addiction, complex loss, chronic illness, and intense mood shifts. She aims to help clients better manage strong emotions and build clearer boundaries where needed.

In session, conversations move between understanding what repeats in relationships and practicing skills to change those patterns. Lisa pays attention to attachment themes such as abandonment, commitment worries, and control issues. Typical work might include improving communication, addressing body image and self-esteem concerns, or creating day-to-day strategies for sleep, appetite, and mood.

She asks clients to set practical goals and track progress between sessions. The focus is on usable tools for everyday life and clearer decisions about relationships, work, and family roles.
