Approaches and how online work can fit your life
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and often blends talk-based methods with creative arts activities. Talk-based methods focus on identifying specific problems, setting goals, and practicing skills to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches help with grief, low self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes.She also offers creative arts integration that uses simple art, music, or movement to help express feelings that can be hard to name. These activities can support relaxation, mood shifts, and clearer visualization of personal strengths and goals. They are paired with conversation to make insights more concrete and usable day to day.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing more on skills practice, on creative expression, or on a mix of both.
