About Lisa
Lisa Connelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and relationship strain. She works with individuals facing depression, addiction, parenting stress, and life transitions. Lisa focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.
Her background includes a BA in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling with a specialization in Marriage, Family, and Addiction from Ottawa University in Phoenix, Arizona. She has worked in group homes, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, chemical dependency detox and residential programs, outpatient clinics, and private practice. That range shaped her approach to crisis, mood, and trauma work.
In sessions she blends several approaches to match what each person needs. Lisa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behavior. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build small, consistent steps. Attachment-informed work guides conversations about closeness, trust, and patterns learned in relationships.
Lived experience with trauma and anxiety is a frequent focus, and she also addresses sleep and eating concerns alongside mood and relationship issues. Lisa aims to build a strong working relationship so clients can set realistic goals and try out different strategies between sessions.
People who want clear, down-to-earth guidance will find a practical style and steady presence. She prefers short, focused plans that fit into everyday life and changes them as needed until they start to work.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters to you and on small actions that move you toward those values. It helps when worry or low mood make it hard to do the things you care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches clear skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, sleep disruption, and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations about connection and trust, and it helps people change repeated patterns in close relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has and hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into weekday breaks, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. Working remotely can also make it simpler to involve practical homework between meetings so new sleep strategies and coping skills get tried in everyday life.
