About Lisa

Lisa Maulding Anthony is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with people who struggle with patterns like people-pleasing, losing themselves in relationships, or living around another person’s substance use or moods. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain a clearer sense of what matters to the client.

Her approach mixes methods that help people notice thoughts and feelings, build safer attachment patterns, and practice new behaviors. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses in daily life. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to address patterns that come from early relationships and influence current connections.

Hypnotherapy is part of her toolkit when clients are open to it; it is framed as a focused way to support shifts in habit and attention. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s goals and comfort direct what methods are tried. Therapy conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with room for reflective work when needed.

Over her career she has supported people working through abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, substance concerns, and the guilt or shame that often follows traumatic events. She asks new clients to describe their immediate priorities so the first sessions can focus on practical next steps.

Lisa works in Florida and offers services in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details through the platform’s intake process.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions toward those values. Online ACT often uses short exercises and behavioral experiments that clients try between sessions to test what fits in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns through practice. Delivered remotely, CBT sessions typically include structured skill work, homework, and real-time problem solving that you can apply between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and boundaries. In online sessions this can mean mapping relationship history, noticing interaction patterns, and practicing different responses in real-life situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first based on goals and comfort. That means testing approaches and adjusting plans as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical features often make it simpler to maintain steady work on patterns like people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and managing anxiety.
