Mindfulness and Trauma-Informed Online Care

Lisa integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity; simple practices are taught to reduce stress and support emotional regulation, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and chronic stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic events are affecting current functioning - work in this area focuses on safety, stabilization, and processing in ways suited to each person’s pace and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, helping clients develop practical skills for mood and anxiety concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa explores a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and tailors methods that fit the individual - adjustments are made over time so treatment aligns with progress and changing needs. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend these approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to schedule care around daily life, maintain momentum between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
