About Lisa

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience, Lisa Hess helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, depression, and life transitions. She also supports concerns related to relationships, family dynamics, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping, self-esteem, career, and ADHD. Sessions are held in English and international clients are not accepted.

Lisa uses practical, conversational methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered therapy to follow a person’s concerns and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. Narrative and existential approaches help people make sense of what happened and consider values and meaning. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck.

Her style is straightforward and interactive. People can expect to name a few goals, try ideas between sessions, and check what’s working. Lisa encourages clear feedback and adjusts methods based on how a person responds.

Her fifteen years of work bring experience with a wide range of life stressors. That background informs practical strategies for everyday problems like sleep, focus, and mood swings as well as harder events such as loss or abuse.

How Lisa’s approaches work for remote sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. In sessions the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps when the priority is understanding feelings or decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral experiments between meetings to make daily life easier.

Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult events by separating them from their identity. This approach can be useful for trauma, grief, and shifts in self-esteem by allowing new, more helpful stories to emerge.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time. This is a collaborative process that relies on ongoing feedback and practical steps agreed between the therapist and the person seeking help.

Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule around work or family commitments.
