About Lisa
Lisa Lee-Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 13 years of experience helping people with relationships, family conflict, intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, and related life challenges. She speaks English and French and focuses on practical steps that help people move forward.
She approaches sessions directly and with compassion. Lisa believes people often know their own answers but sometimes need help finding them. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people sort what matters most so they can make changes that feel manageable.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, body image, eating issues, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with codependency, control issues, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems. Sessions aim to replace blame with clearer communication and practical problem solving.
Lisa uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and Gestalt methods, then adapts tools to fit each person’s needs. The goal is to find approaches that suit the client and the situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Starting therapy with Lisa involves a short intake and a straightforward plan that focuses on what a person wants to change. She frames work as a partnership and helps clients set achievable steps toward a more fulfilling life.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches and Gestalt techniques. Cognitive behavior approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that get in the way of goals; this can help with depression, anxiety, eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Gestalt techniques emphasize awareness in the moment, helping people notice patterns in relationships and communication and practice new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy schedules easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that work around work and family commitments. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and tools to what fits a person’s life and goals.
