About Lisa
She prefers a collaborative, person-first stance in sessions. That means listening closely, asking practical questions, and helping clients set clear, doable goals. She uses everyday language and concrete steps so people can try changes between sessions and notice what helps.
Her background includes a PhD in Counseling and additional graduate study in communications and counseling psychology. That mix shapes a style that values good problem solving and direct emotional work. Over the years she has worked with people facing trauma, addiction concerns, mood struggles, and caregiver stress.
Therapy with her often blends conversation with hands-on tools from evidence-based approaches. She may introduce strategies for managing strong emotions, reshaping unhelpful thoughts, or building clearer communication in relationships. Clients who want active problem solving and steady support tend to find this approach useful.
Dr. Davis also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care questions, aging and caregiver strain, body image, and attachment concerns. Her aim is to help each person move forward at a pace they can manage and to build skills they can use in everyday life.
How specific approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes make priorities unclear or when grief and stress feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by teaching practical skills to test thoughts and try new actions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy. The therapist follows the client's pace and supports self-directed growth rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from these approaches to fit the situation. That makes sessions feel collaborative and tailored.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, skip travel time, and check in from a quiet moment during the day. Phone sessions may be shorter and simpler when video isn't needed, while video sessions allow use of visual tools and face-to-face interaction. Discuss practical needs during the first meeting so sessions match daily life and goals.
