About Lisa
Lisa Hammes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency-related patterns.
She keeps sessions conversational and direct. Lisa uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She keeps a sense of humor in the room and adjusts her style to fit how each person responds.
In therapy Lisa focuses on concrete steps people can use between sessions. That can mean practicing new ways to set limits, trying a coping skill for intense emotions, or testing a small change in how someone talks about themselves. She helps people notice patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or putting others first at their own expense.
Her background blends longer-term depth work and short-term problem solving. Jungian ideas are part of how she thinks about meaning and inner patterns, while solution-focused methods help with quick practical change. Mindfulness skills are used to reduce reactivity and increase choice in hard moments.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is working and what to try next. Lisa asks about strengths and barriers, outlines options, and collaborates on steps people feel able to try between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that fit online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; online work can include homework, thought records, and short practice between meetings. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which translate into skills coaching, role-play, and step-by-step plans during sessions.She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice their responses and build everyday habits. Choosing an approach is collaborative: the therapist will talk with the person about goals, try options, and adjust methods if something does not fit. Clients are treated as experts on their experience and work together with the therapist to find what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people use video or audio based on comfort or bandwidth. Discussing practical arrangements happens when scheduling so sessions can fit into daily life.
