About Lisa

Lisa Adler is a licensed counselor practicing in South Dakota with 26 years of clinical experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions. As an LPC-MH - a Licensed Professional Counselor with a focus on mental health - she brings longstanding experience applying evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and regain a sense of balance.

She approaches each person as the expert of their own story, partnering to identify strengths and practical steps toward change. Lisa emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental style while offering clear, honest assessment and a collaborative plan tailored to the client’s goals. Her work often involves skill-building for emotion regulation, strategies for managing worry and stress, and structured approaches to processing grief and relational patterns.

Clients can expect a steady, supportive presence grounded in clinical experience and current methods. Lisa typically checks messages several times per day and aims to respond promptly, though response times can vary when she is attending to other professional or personal responsibilities. She supports clients who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Adler uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and clear goals. One common approach focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and building coping skills - useful for symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep concerns. Another approach centers on emotion regulation and relational skills, helping clients strengthen communication, address intimacy or family patterns, and manage anger or caregiver stress. She also incorporates structured strategies to help process grief and life transitions, offering support for those coping with loss or major change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds. The therapeutic relationship is treated as a partnership in which the client’s experience and strengths guide the work.

Online therapy allows these evidence-based methods to be delivered through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access care from home, work, or while traveling. This flexibility makes it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into busy lives and to maintain momentum between sessions with different modes of communication.
