About Lisa

Lisa Hess, LPC, helps people who feel stuck by listening closely and guiding practical steps forward. She aims to create a warm and honest space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, low self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD concerns.

Sessions start with what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable. Her approach blends existential ideas about meaning and choice with client-centered care that centers the person’s experience.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when thinking patterns or habits get in the way of daily life. Narrative work can help people reframe painful stories, and motivational interviewing supports moments of change. Lisa draws on 15 years of professional experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan.

She values compassion, honesty, and a little humor in the room. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and practical strategies to try between meetings. She focuses on helping people build clearer self-understanding and stronger coping skills.

Therapy sessions often include discussion, skill practice, and small experiments to test new ways of relating to problems. The goal is steady, sustainable progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are available in English and offered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Lisa invites people to begin by describing their current struggles so together they can form a realistic plan for change.

Existential and Practical Approaches for Online Therapy

Lisa uses Existential Therapy to help people consider meaning, choice, and the values that shape day-to-day decisions. That work can be especially helpful during major life changes or when someone feels adrift and wants clearer direction. Client-Centered Therapy forms the basis of a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach supports people who need space to speak and be heard without pressure.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when specific thoughts and behaviors cause distress. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and offers clear skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change habits. Together with the client she will decide which approaches feel most useful, adapting the mix over time based on needs, goals, and personal preference. Finding the right method is a collaborative process rather than a one-time choice.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when internet is limited, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing work between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and choose what feels most comfortable for them.
