Lisa adapts conversations and treatment plans to align with a client’s specific needs rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions.

Seeking change takes courage, and Lisa views the therapeutic relationship as a place to cultivate that courage and build sustainable coping skills.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Lisa Shifflett commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, accepting relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build self-awareness and personal strengths. This approach can help people who need a supportive space to explore values and emotions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is often effective for stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties in daily functioning because it combines practical tools with measurable goals.

Trauma-focused therapy addresses the specific impacts of past trauma and abuse by helping clients process painful experiences and learn strategies to manage triggers and symptoms. It is tailored to reduce the ongoing effects of trauma while promoting safety and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review progress and adjust the plan as needed to ensure the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and access therapists from different locations. For many people, these options increase accessibility and support consistent participation in therapy with licensed professionals.
