About Lisa
Lisa Simpson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience helping adults and teens who feel stuck by depression, anxiety, or past trauma. She focuses on practical, doable steps so daily life becomes easier. Her style aims to reduce overwhelm and help people reconnect with things that matter to them.
Lisa listens first and then helps set clear, realistic goals. She uses straightforward talk, teaches coping skills, and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going. Conversations are meant to be useful and focused on what the person wants to change.
Her work often covers relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and struggles with anger or self-esteem. Lisa also supports people managing addiction issues and those adjusting to life changes. She includes adoption and foster care concerns when they affect emotional health and daily functioning.
Clinically she draws on several approaches to fit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals at the center of the work. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels uncertain about change.
Lisa practices in Indiana and offers services in English. People who choose therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The process starts by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing the brief intake steps.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead so sessions focus on what matters most. This approach helps with feeling heard and building motivation to try new ways of coping.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or concentration problems, and for rebuilding routines after major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest approaches that match those aims. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift during therapy.
