About Lisa
Lisa Briggs is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, including hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Lisa centers sessions on the person's own goals and strengths. She treats people as the experts on their lives and works collaboratively to identify practical steps forward. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what each person can manage.
She uses talk-based techniques to help people sort through loss, reduce worrying, and rebuild confidence after change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when thinking patterns drive distress. Solution-Focused methods help set short-term goals and test small changes that can bring relief.
In grief and hospice-related work, Lisa focuses on practical coping and emotional adjustment. She helps people name what matters now and find ways to manage difficult days. Sessions cover what is most pressing, from planning next steps to handling waves of emotion.
Clients can expect calm, direct conversation with clear options to try between meetings. Lisa encourages small experiments and repeated check-ins on what is or is not working. Those ready to begin fill out the brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks what matters most, reflects back what she hears, and helps set clear next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions; sessions using CBT identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test alternative behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical goals and quick experiments to build momentum and identify what works.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss these methods with the client and choose or mix them based on the client's goals, preferences, and how they respond to initial strategies. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Practically, remote sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. They also let people try talking through specific problems from where they are, while the therapist supports goal setting and follow-up between meetings.
