About Lisa

Lisa Russo is a clinical counsellor in Australia with over 10 years of experience supporting women through difficult life transitions. She works as an independent contractor and runs Indy Support Services, where she provides compassionate, client-centered counselling tailored to each person’s needs. Lisa holds PACFA accreditation, an Australian counselling credential that reflects her professional training and commitment to effective practice.

Her work focuses on common concerns such as stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, parenting challenges, trauma, and recovery after domestic abuse. She also supports clients coping with career pressures, sleep difficulties, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a broad range of family and communication issues. Lisa aims to help clients feel heard, understood, and supported as they build resilience and confidence.

In sessions, Lisa creates a non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored at a comfortable pace. She collaborates with clients to develop practical tools for managing emotions, navigating life changes, and making sustainable progress toward personal goals. Lisa emphasizes empowerment and steady, client-led change, guiding people toward greater strength, self-belief, and a more fulfilling life.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Women

Lisa integrates clinical approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to promote self-awareness and personal growth; it is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people address insecurity, abandonment issues, and relationship difficulties by building healthier ways of relating. CBT offers practical strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with skills that reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques and frameworks best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
