About Lisa

Lisa Guerra, LPC helps people facing stress and anxiety take practical steps forward. She offers calm, direct support for worries about relationships, parenting, work, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Lisa acknowledges each person's struggle and focuses on small, achievable changes to improve day-to-day functioning.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. The Gottman Method is part of her approach for couples seeking better communication and repair after conflict. Narrative and trauma-focused ideas help people reframe painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.

Lisa draws on seven years of clinical experience in counseling. Before moving into therapy she worked for 20 years as a paramedic, which informs her understanding of first responder stress and burnout. She brings practical skills and a steady presence to sessions.

Sessions emphasize clear goals, concrete tools, and steady progress. Lisa helps people build coping strategies, improve communication, and set realistic steps toward recovery. She aims for straightforward, respectful conversation rather than jargon.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and change small behaviors that reduce anxiety and stress. CBT offers practical tools for daily problems like worry, sleeplessness, and avoidance.

She also incorporates the Gottman Method when couples want to repair communication and rebuild trust. Gottman-based work focuses on clear communication skills, managing conflict, and creating small rituals that help relationships feel safer.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and then adapt methods to fit each person’s needs. The therapist and client decide together which tools to try and how to measure progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule around work or parenting responsibilities.
