About Lisa

Lisa Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, anger, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and issues with self-esteem and ADHD.

Her approach centers on listening and working with each person to build practical steps forward. Lisa uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters to the individual. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.

In sessions she helps people who struggle with codependency, abandonment fears, communication and control problems, and commitment concerns. Lisa also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, cancer-related changes, divorce and separation, substance use problems, and compassion fatigue. She helps people name patterns and try new ways of responding rather than promising quick fixes.

Her work is straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations often include setting small, achievable steps and practicing skills between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change and narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Clients can expect clear, respectful dialogue about what they want to change. Before scheduling, people are asked to use the site matching tool to pick a time and begin with a first appointment.

How sessions work

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. In practice this means sessions start by asking what matters most and shaping work around those goals. It helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach ways to notice unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and try different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing urges related to addictions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can help when strong emotions, impulsivity, or conflict make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the focus as needs change, combining techniques from different approaches when useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
