About Lisa
Lisa Hess, LPC, helps people who are worn out by stress, sleep problems, anxiety, or big life changes find steadier ground. She creates a warm, honest space where concerns about parenting, relationships, grief, eating, career, ADHD, and intimacy can be talked through without rush. She brings compassion and a bit of humor to sessions so people can begin to feel more patient with themselves.
Lisa believes that understanding yourself makes daily life easier to manage. She encourages small, practical steps that build confidence over time. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on tools that can help in the next week or month.
Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring work to each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Narrative and existential perspectives help people find meaning when life feels confusing.
Over 15 years of practice, Lisa has seen how setbacks can become sources of learning. She helps people notice patterns, test new habits, and set doable goals for sleep, mood, and stress. Sessions aim to be straightforward and workable for everyday life.
To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and then maps out a plan with clear next steps. The focus is on practical progress, not quick fixes, and on building skills that last.
Approach-focused online care for sleep and stress
Client-centered work begins by following what matters most to the person in the room. This approach emphasizes listening and responding to individual needs, helping people set goals that feel meaningful and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises for sleep, anxiety, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test ideas and adjust methods based on what helps most. Sessions are a team effort to clarify goals and try strategies that fit daily routines and energy levels.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to keep momentum between in-person appointments if that helps with sleep routines and stress management.
