About Lisa

Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 19 years of experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about how to handle stress at home, in relationships, or at work. Lisa aims to help clients build confidence in managing hard situations and regain a clearer sense of direction.

Her approach begins with listening. She uses a client-centered stance that lets each person set the pace and priorities for therapy. Lisa looks for practical, realistic steps clients can try between sessions and helps tailor ideas to fit everyday life.

Lisa draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand patterns in close relationships, and mindfulness practices to help people tolerate strong emotions without feeling overwhelmed.

She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. Additional areas she addresses include relationship and communication problems, family of origin issues, parenting strains, intimacy-related concerns, codependency, and challenges around commitment and abandonment.

In session she emphasizes strengths and realistic change. She offers a neutral perspective and collaborates with clients to design strategies that fit their lives.

How Lisa's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Lisa often combines client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral and attachment-informed ideas. Client-centered work means the person sets the pace and goals, while the therapist follows their lead and reflects what matters most. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. Attachment-informed ideas look at patterns in close relationships and help people notice how those patterns affect current interactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as they learn what helps.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support continuity of care during life changes so therapy can continue even when routines shift.
