About Lisa
Lisa Hammes is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those facing grief, self-esteem struggles, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is direct and interactive. Sessions mix practical skills with reflective conversation. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. Humor appears sometimes to ease tense moments.
In practice she treats whatever shows up week to week. That can mean learning new ways to respond to anger, testing out communication strategies, or building simple routines to reduce anxiety. She encourages clients to notice what already helps them and to try small changes that fit daily life.
Her background includes eleven years of professional work in settings that shaped a flexible approach. Lisa leans on both evidence-based techniques and deeper exploration when that fits. She invites practical problem solving as well as attention to meaning and patterns that repeat across relationships.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, skill building, and occasional exploration of deeper themes. She asks questions, offers tools, and checks in about whether an approach is working. Getting a different way to respond to anger often starts with small, practiced steps.
How sessions work
Online work using practical approaches
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and trying concrete experiments to change them; it can help with anger, anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness which can be useful when anger feels overwhelming or leads to conflict.She also draws on client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices to slow down reactions and increase awareness. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on how helpful it feels.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent commuting. Many people find that practicing skills between sessions and bringing real-life examples to meetings helps transfer new ways of responding to everyday situations.
