Lisa Wyatt , LMFT

Lisa Wyatt is a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, parents navigating difficult family dynamics, individuals struggling with addiction in themselves or loved ones, survivors of trauma and abuse, and helping professionals who are experiencing burnout. Her practice focuses on helping clients move from feeling overwhelmed or stuck to feeling more confident in their ability to manage challenging situations at home, in relationships, and at work.

Lisa emphasizes that emotional reactions are a normal part of being human and that what follows those reactions is often the area people want to change. She offers a neutral perspective on clients' situations and collaborates to develop realistic, personalized solutions that fit each person’s life. Her therapeutic stance is largely person-centered, meaning clients set the tone for sessions, and she blends strength-based work with cognitive-behavioral and Gestalt techniques to explore thoughts, behaviors, and different perspectives. Lisa individualizes her approach for each client and focuses on empowering practical changes. Reaching out for support is an important first step, and she approaches each case with a commitment to helping clients find workable paths forward.

Approach-Oriented Online Therapy with a Relational Focus

Lisa Wyatt integrates approaches that emphasize relationships, personal strengths, and patterns of thought. Client-centered therapy places the client at the center of the work, allowing sessions to be guided by the individual's priorities and pace while the therapist offers empathy and support to foster self-directed change. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship experiences influence current connection styles and emotional responses, helping clients address issues like abandonment, intimacy struggles, and family-of-origin patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Lisa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access consistent support when in-person visits are not practical. These options help people connect with therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
