About Lisa

Lisa Lopez is an Arizona licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years as a practicing therapist and a decade in social work overall. She focuses on trauma and addiction, especially issues stemming from childhood trauma. She also helps people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, and low self-esteem.

Her style centers on helping people discover their own strengths. Sessions aim to build practical steps and clearer choices rather than rely on labels. She meets people where they are and focuses on small, realistic changes that fit day-to-day life.

Lisa draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. That can mean using mindfulness to notice what’s happening in the moment, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move toward them. She works collaboratively to pick methods that fit a person’s needs and goals.

Expect straightforward work on coping skills, emotional awareness, and decisions that matter most to you. Lisa addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, and the emotional fallout from divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with substance use, guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions of life purpose.

Her approach is encouraging and practical. She aims to empower people to make steady progress and to notice the strengths they already have.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps in that direction, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for values work, motivation, anxiety, and mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support recovery from trauma and addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life situation. That may mean trying a mix of techniques and adjusting over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises or homework between meetings and to apply new skills directly in day-to-day life.
