About Lisa
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of experience, Lisa Cruz helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and life changes. She sees adults who want practical tools for managing depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, grief, anger, or relationship and career concerns. Sessions are conducted in English.
Lisa uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. She emphasizes building coping skills that can be used between sessions. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and track small changes over time.
Her background includes a master's degree in psychology and experience counseling college students and working at a community mental health center. That work exposed her to a range of concerns from mood instability and psychosis to social anxiety and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she combines listening with concrete strategies. That can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing mindfulness exercises, or setting short-term steps to improve daily functioning. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques when people want help with addiction and behavior change.
Clients can expect a straightforward approach focused on skill building and measurable progress. The emphasis is on making manageable changes that fit day-to-day life. For people dealing with emptiness, guilt, shame, or isolation, she offers direct, practical ways to cope and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for mood symptoms, using motivational interviewing for behavior change, or practicing mindfulness when stress is high. The plan is adjusted as progress is tracked.
