About Lisa
Lisa Hess, LPC, focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, parenting pressures, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She aims to create a warm, honest, and compassionate space where people can speak about fears and doubts without judgment. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, with room for humor and real human connection.
Lisa believes that understanding yourself helps you navigate life with more confidence. She encourages small steps that build patience and self-compassion. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients try practical ways to cope and move forward.
Her background includes 15 years working with people facing depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleep problems, career strain, ADHD, and issues that touch family life and parenting. She draws on several counseling approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Lisa uses questions, guided reflection, and concrete tools so people can experiment with changes between meetings. She emphasizes strengths people already have and helps them find ways to use those strengths in daily life.
People who prefer an accepting, straightforward therapist might find her approach helpful. She invites clients to explore what matters most to them and to practice new ways of responding to hard situations.
How therapeutic approaches come alive online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with warmth and acceptance, and helping people find their own answers; it suits anyone needing a supportive space to voice fears and worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may involve trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed and make it simpler to continue care after a move. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and worksheets to work well over distance so clients can practice changes between meetings.
