About Lisa

Lisa Henthorn is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency. She speaks plainly and aims to make early steps feel manageable. Her approach is practical and focused on everyday problems, not on jargon.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies are part of her work for managing strong emotions and improving coping. Mindfulness tools are used to slow racing thoughts and increase calm in daily life.

Lisa holds a Master’s degree from Lindsey Wilson College and has seven years of practice experience. Her credentials include LPCC and LCMHC, which she maintains in relevant states. She has worked with people dealing with ADHD, mood disorders, PTSD, and personality concerns.

Sessions center on listening first, then building specific steps to try between meetings. She helps clients set realistic goals such as improving sleep, handling grief, or reducing anxiety symptoms. Conversations aim to be straightforward and solution-oriented.

Lisa also supports issues around relationships, communication, body image, caregiver stress, and addiction-related concerns. She includes coaching-style guidance when a client wants concrete behavior changes. The emphasis is on practical progress that fits into everyday life.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking that worsen anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical experiments and homework you can try between sessions to test what works.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style tools are useful when intense feelings make it hard to follow a plan or stay connected to daily responsibilities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together you adjust methods based on what helps most in your life.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into work or family routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins or avoid needing to travel, which helps sustain consistent progress.
