About Lisa

Lisa Brinton, AASW, is a compassionate counsellor in Australia with 10 years of experience supporting people through life transitions and emotional challenges. She creates a non-judgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings, process past and recent trauma, and examine how social pressures shape wellbeing. Lisa works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, addiction, and issues linked to childhood experiences and personal setbacks.

Her approach blends evidence-based methods and practical skill-building. She integrates mindfulness practices and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, reduce stress, and strengthen emotional regulation. Lisa also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-focused principles, client-centered strategies, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when these fit a client’s needs. These tools are used to develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication, and support more satisfying relationships.

Lisa tailors each treatment plan to an individual’s circumstances and goals, working collaboratively so clients feel involved in decisions about their care. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical steps toward change, supporting people who are ready to take courageous steps toward greater resilience and a more fulfilling life. AASW indicates a credential from the Australian Association of Social Workers.

Online therapeutic approaches and flexible care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting ruled by them, and supports living in line with personal values - it is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and uncertainty. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors a plan that may combine techniques to best support recovery and growth.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This makes it easier for people to access consistent support from home, while maintaining the continuity of care that helps progress toward meaningful change.
