Lisa Hess , LPC

Lisa Hess brings a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy, helping people navigate difficult seasons and find greater confidence in how they live. She believes that challenging periods can become opportunities for growth when individuals gain a clearer understanding of themselves and their choices. Her work emphasizes relationships that reflect warmth, honesty, compassion, and humor, and she aims to bring those qualities into each session.

Drawing on personal insight into how speaking about fears and doubts in a supportive setting can transform experience, she encourages clients to give voice to what matters to them. That process often opens space for patience and self-empathy, which in turn can shift how people relate to themselves and to others. Lisa helps clients explore practical solutions tailored to their needs, knowing that small changes in perspective can make the world feel different.

She holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, indicating she has completed the training and state licensure required to provide clinical counseling. Lisa works with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, eating and sleeping challenges, career matters, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. She looks forward to supporting clients as they discover strategies that work for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a warm, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns by emphasizing empathy and respect for each person's experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating challenges because it combines practical strategies with measurable goals.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons for change. It can be especially useful when addressing ambivalence around behaviors related to parenting, career moves, or health and lifestyle adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods match their goals, preferences, and needs, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to tailor care so it feels useful and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access therapists from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while accommodating each client's communication style and routine.
