About Lisa

Lisa Patton is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Alabama. She brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

She uses a warm, nonjudgmental approach to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are meant to be a place where thoughts can be shared openly and honestly. Lisa aims to help people find practical ways to cope and to notice small changes that add up over time.

Her work includes support for grief and loss and help with parenting challenges. She also addresses problems such as anger, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and issues connected to adoption and foster care.

Lisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. She balances listening with practical strategies people can use between sessions.

She understands that reaching out for help takes courage and tries to make the first steps easier. Prospective clients will find straightforward guidance about next steps and what to expect in early appointments.

How client-centered and CBT work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so each person feels heard and respected. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that improve mood and daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods in response to what the client finds helpful. That collaboration continues as progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be a good way to maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
