About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a licensed social worker with 32 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, or stress. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship pain, grief, and parenting strain.
Lisa listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on honest conversation about feelings, patterns, and daily life. She uses straightforward tools so people can try small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes Existential therapy with practical methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she helps people find meaning in hard moments while also learning skills to manage thoughts and behaviors. Therapy aims to increase clarity, reduce fear, and build steady routines.
Clients often bring worries about attachment, communication problems, impulsivity, or the stress of caregiving and blended families. Lisa also addresses issues tied to prejudice, aging, seasonal mood shifts, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. Work on intimacy-related concerns and career transitions is also available.
Based in Michigan, she conducts sessions in English by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session. Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative process where people set goals and try practical steps between meetings.

Approaches that fit online therapy
Existential therapy helps people look at big life questions and what gives their life meaning. It can be useful when facing grief, life transitions, doubts about identity, or a sense of emptiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small steps toward what matters. That approach works well for anxiety, depression, and stress where avoidance keeps someone from living fully.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether meaning-focused work, ACT skills, or skill-based CBT fits best, and they adjust over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is enough. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to share short updates, get coaching between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact while working toward clear, achievable goals.
