About Lisa
Lisa Linger is a licensed mental health counselor working in Florida who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those facing low self-esteem, panic attacks, and postpartum depression. Lisa brings a calm, direct style and a focus on practical steps people can use right away.
Before becoming a therapist, she spent 15 years as a nurse in emergency and urgent care settings. That background shaped her practical approach to emotional distress.
Background and approach
She often explains how the brain and nervous system affect feelings so clients can use simpler tools to feel more in control. Sessions focus on clear strategies and real-life problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is offered when past events are driving current symptoms, with care taken to move at a pace the person can handle. Lisa aims to make therapy collaborative. She listens to what matters most, then helps build step-by-step plans for small changes that add up.
Many people find this combination of practical skills and supportive attention helps them regain confidence and reduce symptoms. Her work also addresses blended family stress, chronic pain or illness, dissociation, and questions about life purpose. She brings three years of counseling experience to her practice as a Florida LMHC and focuses on helping each person find manageable ways to move forward.
How CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy work online
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice different responses to change how they feel. It often involves short exercises and homework to try between meetings. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people who are affected by past traumatic events by working carefully through memories and reactions while building skills to manage intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their symptoms, goals, and what feels manageable, then suggest a path forward. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made so it fits the person's pace and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief reflections or when scheduling a longer talk is difficult. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between sessions.
