About Lisa

LMHC in Florida with three years of clinical experience, Lisa Linger focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. She draws on her prior 15 years as a nurse in emergency and urgent care to inform practical, direct support for people facing acute challenges and ongoing symptoms.

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in sessions. She explains how the brain and nervous system can affect feelings and behavior. That explanation is paired with hands-on strategies people can try between sessions to reduce panic, manage mood, and handle upsetting memories.

Sessions are collaborative. Lisa asks about current problems, symptoms, and day-to-day routines. She works with each person to develop clear, manageable steps that fit their life and goals. Expect concrete tools for panic attacks, mood regulation, and coping with dissociation or chronic illness-related stress.

Her clinical background in nursing shapes a practical style that values symptom recognition and behavioral skills. She addresses blended family issues, postpartum depression, and co-morbid conditions by breaking concerns into smaller, solvable parts. Lisa also supports people working on life purpose and meaning when those questions relate to mood or anxiety.

People who choose her often want a straightforward approach that links body-based reactions to specific strategies. She combines short-term skill-building with attention to trauma history when needed.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood in place. CBT sessions often include simple behavioral experiments, thought records, and step-by-step plans to reduce panic and improve daily routines.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past trauma on current life. This approach involves carefully processing traumatic memories when a person is ready and building grounding and regulation skills to reduce distress between focused trauma work.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lisa will review your symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You and she can adjust plans as progress and circumstances change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use those practical advantages to help therapy fit everyday life without changing clinical goals.
