About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Cooney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship concerns, eating and anger issues, and LGBTQ matters. Sessions focus on helping people manage symptoms and make practical changes in daily life.
Her work combines Client-Centered Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas with problem-focused methods. She also uses Existential therapy to look at meaning and life choices, EMDR for trauma-related memories, and hypnotherapy where appropriate. Sessions are conversational and structured around the client’s priorities.
Dr. Cooney pays attention to attachment patterns and family-of-origin influences. She helps people untangle codependency, blended family dynamics, communication and commitment problems, and issues around control and dissociation. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, cancer, body image, and substance use concerns.
The therapist integrates short-term, solution-focused strategies when clients want specific goals. She balances that with deeper work when clients want to understand recurring patterns. Treatment plans reflect what the person wants to change and what they are ready to address.
Clients who prefer clear explanations and practical steps often find this approach useful. Dr. Cooney accepts international clients and conducts work in English. The practice asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s goals and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person decide what to work on. It suits concerns about mood, relationships, and everyday stress.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. Sessions address life direction, commitment issues, and feelings of emptiness or uncertainty by clarifying values and options.
EMDR is an approach used for trauma-related memories. It involves structured processing of disturbing memories and can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions over a series of sessions.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues that brought the person to therapy. She uses that conversation to propose methods and adjusts them as work progresses so the plan fits the person’s needs.
Confirm the practice’s current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings. These practical benefits help some people keep regular sessions and apply what they learn to daily life.
