About Lisa
Lisa Gray is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She draws on a long career in the helping professions to support people through painful life events and major transitions. Lisa writes plainly and directly with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She listens for what matters most, then helps people set clear goals and take small steps toward them. Sessions mix straightforward strategies with reflective work that looks at how past experiences shape current choices.
Lisa often helps people who are coping with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related concerns. She also works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, parenting stress, codependency, and career change. Clients who want both action-focused tools and time to tell their story tend to do well with her approach.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian ideas about meaning, and mindfulness practices to build skills and insight. Lisa also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to clarify problems and identify practical next steps. She adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than following one fixed plan.
People who prefer plain language and a direct, compassionate counselor find her approach accessible. She accepts clients in Michigan and also works with international clients in English. Before beginning, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform's matching and booking process.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lisa blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that aim to reduce unhelpful thinking and teach practical coping skills. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, useful for trauma responses and ongoing worry.She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories. That approach helps when past events shape current identity or when a person wants to find new meaning after loss or major change. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will offer options and work with the client to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level.
If you are considering online sessions, check the session options before booking to confirm what formats are offered. Many people find remote work makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, lets them choose quieter times, or reduces travel time. The therapist will discuss how to structure remote sessions to meet goals and fit everyday life.
