About Lissa
Lissa Elliott St.Clair is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, mood swings, and the fallout from trauma and loss. Her practice also includes support for parenting strain, career concerns, and patterns like codependency and trouble communicating.
She listens closely and helps people sort through overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Lissa draws on client-centered methods to follow what each person brings, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking.
She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices are offered to help ground attention in the present. Solution-focused work helps set small, achievable goals when people want quicker change.
People commonly seek her help for grief, compassion fatigue, anger, panic, post-traumatic stress, and life transitions like separation or midlife reevaluation. She also supports those dealing with jealousy, guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Sessions are described plainly and practically, with a focus on tools and small behavior changes. The therapist invites collaborative planning so goals and steps are clear. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online process.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. Online sessions following this approach start by asking what matters most and then shaping sessions around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete experiments to change them; online CBT often uses work between sessions such as thought records and behavioral experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills in short, practiceable steps that can be reviewed during remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the person to try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Goals, pacing, and techniques are agreed together so sessions feel focused and useful.
The site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session, so practical arrangements are set before the first meeting. Because the listing does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm available formats when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed, and let people use written tools or guided practices between sessions to reinforce what they learn.
