About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction struggles, and anger. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people find practical steps forward. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts her work to each person's needs.
Many clients come with feeling overwhelmed by change, low self-esteem, or ongoing sadness. Lisa offers straightforward coaching for daily coping skills and for bigger life transitions like career shifts or divorce and separation.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse. Lisa draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories and see problems as separate from who they are. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are offered when people want to learn practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Sessions often include talking through recent situations, identifying patterns, and trying small experiments between meetings. For people facing addiction, codependency, or impulsivity, motivational interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and build commitment.
Lisa balances empathetic listening with concrete steps clients can practice on their own. She works with adults in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Lisa welcomes people seeking help for relationship difficulties, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and a wide range of emotional concerns.

Online session options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Lisa uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and rewrite how they talk about difficult experiences. That approach often helps when someone feels stuck by a single story about themselves. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, validation, and following the person's lead to clarify goals and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to teach specific skills for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. They adjust the mix of narrative, client-centered, or CBT techniques based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and more natural conversation, phone may be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
