About Lisa

Lisa Winn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Lisa aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear for people who are overwhelmed.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk about feelings and thoughts without judgment. Sessions emphasize practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes. Lisa encourages people to set realistic goals and to notice small changes over time.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in Missouri. Over two decades she has used a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That mix includes Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral ideas.

In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful patterns, build everyday skills, and practice new ways of handling stress and conflict. She also addresses topics like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems when they come up.

Lisa works with adults to explore motivation, strengthen relationships, and regain a sense of control in daily life. She supports international clients in English and invites interested people to complete the site questionnaire to begin the matching process.

How trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past stressful events affect current thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In this approach the work is paced to the person and focuses on reducing symptoms and building coping skills for daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses practical exercises to clarify values and guide small, purposeful changes that improve day-to-day functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationships and patterns formed early in life. It helps people understand how those patterns show up now and teaches new ways to connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. If one approach doesn't help, Lisa will adjust the plan and try different techniques together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for regular check-ins, skill practice, and talking through stressful moments without rearranging their whole day.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
