About Lisa
Lisa Grady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and anger. She draws on 15 years of experience working in a range of settings to help people find practical ways forward. Her work often addresses codependency, attachment concerns, and problems with communication and control.
She began in substance use counseling and worked with people involved in the criminal justice system. That time included supporting people with co-occurring disorders and guiding those on probation or parole. Leading group counseling was part of her routine, along with one-on-one sessions focused on skill building.
Over time she moved into community-based practice, offering individual services to people seeking change. She has experience with trauma-informed care and with first responder and military-connected concerns. Her background includes work inside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which shaped her knowledge of related legal and system issues.
In sessions she emphasizes skills people can use right away. She helps clients work on impulse control, manage guilt and shame, and reduce isolation. She also supports those dealing with divorce, blended family stress, and substance misuse without labeling or lecturing.
Her approach mixes group and individual methods learned over many years. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and planning that fits daily life. To begin, complete the Start Therapy button and the short matching questionnaire to schedule based on therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online work
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping strategies. One common approach she uses emphasizes skill building for managing strong emotions and impulsivity, teaching simple steps clients can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve daily routine.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which means recognizing how past hurts shape current reactions and working carefully to build safety and steady progress. This method helps people address trauma, addiction, shame, and patterns like codependency at a manageable pace.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try approaches that fit a client's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to match each person's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during breaks. It can also let people join from different locations within the same state while keeping continuous care consistent with ongoing goals.
