About Lisa
Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a straightforward and warm way of talking that helps people feel heard. Her work focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, eating concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
She draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people break unhelpful cycles. Sessions are collaborative and conversational rather than a lecture. Lisa aims to help clients find manageable steps they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in intensive programs such as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient settings, as well as independent practice. That variety means she is comfortable supporting people who have tried different types of care and still feel stuck. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and somatic work to address symptoms and daily challenges.
Lisa pays attention to cultural context and the pressures people face around identity and family expectations. She helps with body image, eating and food-related concerns, obsessions and compulsions, social anxiety, phobias, trichotillomania, and issues common to young adults and women. The focus is on practical skills, rebuilding self-trust, and reducing avoidance.
People who choose her describe sessions that mix clear guidance with empathy. Lisa encourages realistic goals and steady progress. She supports international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and offers clear tools for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT-style tools can be useful when strong emotions or relationship stress get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or busy day. Live chat or text messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching easier between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into real life and keep momentum between meetings.
