Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Lisa Scott draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and committed action - it can support clients facing avoidance, life transitions, and meaning-centered struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work, and it is particularly helpful for building self-esteem, processing attachment issues, and strengthening the therapeutic alliance.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa Scott works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life, and she adapts the plan over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints, while still receiving focused support from a licensed professional.
