About Lisa
Lisa Adair is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Lisa approaches sessions with a straightforward, respectful manner and centers the person in the room as the expert on their own life.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also uses Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, values, and choices when facing uncertainty or loss. These methods are explained in simple terms and tailored to each person’s situation. In a typical session Lisa works with practical steps and clear goals.
Conversations move between understanding what’s happening now and trying small changes that can bring relief. She pays attention to issues like sleep, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue as part of everyday life challenges. Lisa has additional experience related to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and communication problems.
She also supports adults dealing with trauma, grief, domestic violence histories, and panic symptoms. Clients who want help with mood disorders, social anxiety, or ADHD concerns may find her approach useful. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through several formats.
The aim is to make therapy clear, practical, and focused on the client’s goals while exploring values and meaning when that feels important.
How CBT and Existential Work Online
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood. CBT sessions tend to include specific tools and short exercises that are easy to practice between meetings.She also draws on Existential Therapy to talk about meaning, choice, and values when life feels unsettling. That approach helps people clarify what matters to them and make decisions that fit their values in the face of loss, change, or uncertainty.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one fixed style. That collaboration can include mixing practical CBT techniques with deeper conversations about meaning when helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into everyday life.
