How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work
Lisa uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns in close relationships and build more reliable ways of asking for support. This approach can help when communication feels stuck or when past hurts affect present connections.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to break down problems into manageable steps and teach skills for changing thoughts and behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping skills. When trauma is present, Lisa may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques to address distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
