About Lisa

Lisa Simpson is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Indiana with 12 years of practice. She works with adults and teens who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger. She helps people who notice their mood, sleep, appetite, or focus changing and who want more balance in everyday life.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that lead to outbursts or withdrawal. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a working relationship that keeps the client's concerns central.

Lisa pays attention to how early relationships and life events shape current reactions. That perspective comes through in psychodynamic and Jungian work she uses when it fits the person. Motivational Interviewing appears in sessions that involve change work, including addiction or sticking with new habits.

In therapy she helps people develop concrete tools for handling anger, communicating under stress, and managing triggers at work or home. She also addresses related areas such as grief, parenting strain, relationship conflict, and life changes that can increase tension.

People who prefer a direct but respectful style may find this approach useful. The focus is on learning skills, understanding patterns, and testing new ways of responding. Prospective clients are encouraged to complete the site's intake steps to begin the process.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and keeping the client's goals central; online sessions can follow this by using conversation and reflection to clarify what matters most and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; that work often includes practical exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on helping someone find their own reasons to change and can be useful when working on addictions or habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting over time based on results and comfort with different techniques.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography did not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people use written exercises or screen-sharing during CBT work and can support ongoing motivation work between sessions.
