About Lisa
Lisa Guerra is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and adoption and foster care issues. She emphasizes practical steps so clients can move forward and find more calm in everyday life. Her background includes work that informs how she responds to trauma and crisis situations.
She uses straightforward strategies that focus on thoughts and actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a core part of her work, helping people spot patterns that keep problems going and try new ways of responding. She also incorporates the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed to help partners communicate and rebuild trust.
Lisa has seven years of counseling experience and draws on an additional two decades as a paramedic to understand high-stress roles and first responder concerns. That mix shapes how she listens, asks questions, and suggests changes that fit real life. She aims to make sessions practical and focused on next steps rather than long theory discussions.
When teenagers are involved, she looks for ways to boost confidence and help them navigate social media and future planning while also supporting parents as they make decisions. Lisa pays attention to attachment, blended family dynamics, and parenting strains that show up after adoption or foster placements.
Her approach is collaborative and goal oriented. She encourages people to start small, test changes between sessions, and notice what helps. The emphasis is on steady progress and on building skills that last.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work
Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns and test small changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood. CBT is goal oriented and works well for stress, anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day concerns.She also applies the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed, focusing on communication skills, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection between partners. That approach centers on practical exercises couples can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest whether CBT, the Gottman Method, trauma-focused techniques, or a blend is the best fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. A remote session can also let people try exercises and communication practices in the places where they live and relate, making new skills easier to bring into daily routines.
