Lisa Scott is a licensed social worker in Michigan with more than 32 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. She also works with those dealing with anger, addiction, grief, and trauma and abuse.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She pays attention to communication problems, social anxiety, and attachment patterns that shape everyday relationships. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, prejudice or discrimination, and major family transitions.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking. She uses a mix of methods to help people manage symptoms and make choices that match their values. Clients can expect collaboration and gentle challenge when needed to build new skills.

Her background spans clinical training and long experience with diverse life stages. That history informs how she tailors strategies for young adults, caregivers, and others navigating change. Lisa emphasizes strengths and realistic goals while working at each person’s pace.

People who book with her find a therapist who listens, helps set achievable steps, and keeps the work grounded in real life. If you want to sort through intense feelings or rebuild after loss or change, she aims to provide steady support and clear tools.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories and reactions. It aims to make everyday life more manageable by addressing how past events affect present thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take concrete steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and action planning to handle difficult emotions while moving forward with life goals.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance where the person directs the pace and focus. This approach helps people feel heard and better understand their own choices and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adjusting over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online work still focuses on practical tools, processing difficult feelings, and planning steps you can use between sessions.
