About Lisa

Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self esteem, and depression, and brings a direct but warm approach to sessions.

Her style is collaborative and conversational. She aims to make therapy feel like a real talk rather than a lecture. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems going.

Lisa has experience across different treatment settings, including intensive outpatient programs and independent practice. That breadth informs how she supports people who feel stuck in repetitive behaviors or overwhelmed by strong emotions. She uses a mix of approaches to match individual needs instead of relying on a single method.

In practice she draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and somatic approaches to address both thoughts and body-based reactions. These methods help with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, body image and eating-related struggles, and low self-worth.

Lisa also pays attention to cultural and identity factors that affect mental health. She aims to help people manage family expectations, cultural stress, and the specific challenges facing young adults. Her goal is to offer clear guidance, steady support, and occasional relief even when progress feels slow.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to talk about identity, family expectations, or doubts without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete tools and experiments to reduce anxiety, challenge negative self-talk, and change unhelpful routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving reactions in stressful moments. It can help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques until a good fit emerges.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving, and they can reduce travel time. Different formats also let people pick what feels most practical, such as shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video, depending on what is offered.
