About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Hammons is an LPC in Mississippi with 14 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She supports those facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first session.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what is most pressing. She works with people to identify immediate coping tools for stress and anxiety. Sessions also address patterns that fuel low confidence or recurring relationship problems.

Over her career she has helped people facing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, body image struggles, and the effects of trauma such as domestic violence or disasters. She also assists with issues like codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and eating or food-related concerns.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She listens closely, then helps create small, manageable steps people can try between sessions. The focus is on building skills for day-to-day coping while also addressing longer-term goals like improved self-esteem and healthier relationships.

To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process. That includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques to address stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding, and simple routines to reduce anxiety symptoms and ease daily stress. Another approach looks at thoughts and beliefs that shape feelings; it helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try more balanced ways of thinking to improve mood and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. Together they review what helps, adjust strategies, and set realistic short-term steps toward bigger changes.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can offer practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy day, cutting travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to keep continuity of care during life transitions. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan sessions that fit your routine.
