About Lisa
Lisa Tran is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and motivation issues. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Taking the first step toward change often feels hard, and she offers steady support through that process.
In sessions she focuses on understanding what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as avoidance, fear of judgment, or harsh self-talk. From there she and the client map out small, practical steps to try between appointments. That can include experimenting with new ways of communicating, setting manageable goals, or practicing different responses to stress.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans when needed. The goal is to build lasting habits that improve confidence, reduce overwhelm, and make relationships easier to navigate.
Lisa also brings experience supporting people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, caregiver stress, and issues around attachment and abandonment. She works with those navigating identity and alternative sexual cultures, and with people facing family or blended-family challenges.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the rules and standards of a California LMFT. If you’re thinking about starting, she asks that you begin by completing the site's matching steps so you can schedule according to therapist availability.
