About Lisa
Lisa Adler is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health (LPC-MH) practicing in South Dakota with 26 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, grief, parenting concerns, and other life challenges. Lisa uses evidence-based methods and aims to be direct and honest in assessment and planning.
She works from the view that clients know their own stories and have strengths to draw on. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between appointments. Lisa talks through options, sets clear goals, and tracks progress so people can see what is changing.
Her experience includes long-term clinical work across a wide range of issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care histories, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and job-related strain. That range means she is used to helping with both immediate crises and longer-term coping strategies.
Communication is straightforward and time-limited when needed. Lisa checks messages several times a day and responds as quickly as possible, while noting there can be occasional delays because of other responsibilities. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin work.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Fees vary by location, and Lisa does not accept international clients. Prospective clients should use the platform's matching flow to arrange the first appointment.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in focused, practical ways. One commonly used approach involves structured problem-solving and skills practice to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety. This helps people identify triggers, try new behaviors, and review what works.Another approach involves grief- and loss-oriented strategies that help people process painful events while building routines and coping tools. These methods are aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day functioning rather than promising a specific outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may change over time as progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted.
Practical benefits of online sessions include making it easier to fit appointments into a busy day and reducing travel time. If you want to know which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, focused skill practice between sessions, and a way to keep therapy consistent while juggling other responsibilities.
