About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Hammons is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and the ups and downs that come with major life changes.

She helps people talk through what feels stuck and figure out small, doable steps forward. Sessions focus on practical conversation and problem solving rather than theory. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier responses to everyday pressures and relationship tensions.

Her background includes work across a range of concerns related to caregiving, aging and geriatric issues, body image, eating-related problems, and the effects of domestic violence and separation. She also addresses guilt, shame, emptiness, communication problems, and codependency-related patterns that leave people putting others first at their own expense.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people repeating the same choices. Together with clients she identifies clearer boundaries and ways to rebuild a sense of self. Practical coping skills and stress management are common topics.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and regular check-ins on progress. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. To begin, prospective clients follow the site steps to see online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Dr. Lisa Hammons uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she relies on identifies recurring thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and anxiety, then replaces them with clearer actions and coping strategies. This helps with low mood, worry, and feeling overwhelmed by emotional reactions.

Another frequent focus is working on relationship patterns and boundary setting. This method looks at how people keep prioritizing others and teaches ways to name needs, practice saying no, and set limits that protect personal well-being. It is useful when people feel lost in caregiving roles or in relationships shaped by codependent dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and activities to work well over a distance, with a focus on practical tools that translate into everyday routines.
