She brings experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through issues like relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and blended family dynamics, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood symptoms, caregiver and first responder stress, and substance use difficulties.
Lisa also supports people navigating adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, attachment and family of origin issues, and life changes related to medical or caregiving circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Lisa OBrien commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she employs to help people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation when facing ambivalence. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the effects of traumatic experiences, offering strategies to process difficult memories and develop coping skills for triggers and emotional distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for many people. Sessions by video or phone allow for real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or work between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across locations.
