About Lisa
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with seven years of experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Lisa Hughes draws on client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to help people address relationship strain, grief, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Lisa trained with a B.S. in Psychology and later earned an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. She has long experience in mental health settings prior to moving into individual counseling work. Her approach centers on listening first, then working with each person to set realistic goals and practical steps toward them.
In sessions she uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and anxiety by teaching simple attention and breathing practices. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck and want to find their own reasons to change.
Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, achievable changes that move a person forward. Lisa pays attention to cultural background and life stage when discussing goals and coping strategies. Practical topics she often addresses include communication problems, workplace issues, midlife concerns, and feelings of isolation.
People typically work with her on specific problems like relationship difficulty, grief, or career transition. She describes therapy as a cooperative process and focuses on concrete steps rather than abstract theories. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching tools and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the person’s priorities. The therapist listens without pushing a preset agenda and helps shape goals the client wants to pursue. Mindfulness therapy introduces short attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety; these are taught and practiced during sessions. Motivational interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and can be useful when someone feels stuck.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over the first few sessions and adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online appointments can help fit therapy into a busy week by removing travel time and making scheduling easier. They also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins when time is limited or to choose a format that requires less bandwidth or no video. Ask about session length and format when you schedule the first appointment to match therapy to your day-to-day life.
