About Lisa

Lisa Wing is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with nine years as a licensed clinician and over two decades of work in the mental health field. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, and questions around life purpose and identity. Sessions are conducted in English and her background includes work with veterans and LGBTQ people in community settings.

Her style combines practical, goal-oriented methods with attention to how a person's everyday life is going. Lisa uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on EMDR for trauma-related memories and on dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

In the first meetings she works with clients to set clear, achievable goals and to build a straightforward plan. Sessions tend to be down-to-earth and direct, with occasional use of humor to keep things grounded. She describes the client as the primary decision-maker in their care and treats their experience as central when choosing techniques.

Lisa's training includes a range of approaches such as motivational interviewing and narrative elements, which she pulls in when they serve a specific goal. The emphasis is on practical strategies that fit a person's current circumstances and responsibilities. People looking for step-by-step tools for coping, managing mood, or addressing trauma-related symptoms may find this approach useful.

Her experience in multiple community roles informs how she explains clinical methods in plain language. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and expect a clear initial plan during the intake conversation.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and using that understanding to guide treatment. It helps with goals around self-direction, decision making, and building a practical plan for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that maintain worry, low mood, or unhelpful patterns. It uses structured exercises and homework to build new skills and reduce symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for distressing trauma memories and involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of those memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and propose a mix of methods. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and when to adjust the plan.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while they learn CBT tools, practice DBT skills, or complete EMDR processing with a licensed professional.
