About Lisa
Lisa Winn is a licensed professional counselor with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, attention challenges, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Lisa speaks English and works with local and international clients from Missouri.
Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first steps toward change feel manageable. Lisa uses narrative ideas to help people see the stories they tell about themselves. She pairs that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are hard.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ways of relating, which emphasize understanding connection patterns and listening without judgment. In sessions she keeps language simple and practical. People can expect clear, short-term goals alongside space to talk through difficult feelings.
Lisa pays attention to patterns such as communication problems, commitment worries, control issues, and codependency, and helps people pick concrete steps to try between meetings. Her practice addresses a wide range of life situations including abandonment, adoption and foster care history, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and aging concerns.
She also supports people who identify with autistic traits or who face attachment issues and personality-related challenges. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Lisa aims to be a steady, practical partner as people work toward clearer values and steadier daily habits.

Online session options
How narrative and values-based work translate online
Lisa blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that work well through remote sessions. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from their problem by helping them tell and reframe their life stories, which can bring new perspective and options. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that line up with those values even when emotions are difficult.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lisa treats therapy as a collaboration and will work with clients to test methods, adjust focus, and pick tools that match each person’s goals and daily life. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions useful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try exercises in real time.
