About Lisa

Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing anxiety, depression, eating and body image concerns, and related stressors. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make therapy feel like a real conversation rather than a checklist.

She uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, collaborative space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are common tools she draws on to build coping skills and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Somatic approaches are also used to help people notice and work with physical reactions to stress.

Lisa has worked in intensive programs and private practice, so she is familiar with both structured care settings and ongoing outpatient work. That background shapes how she supports people who feel stuck in repeating patterns or overwhelmed by life changes. She emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional understanding.

Her focus includes eating and food-related issues, obsessive-compulsive concerns, phobias, trichotillomania, and struggles with self-esteem and social anxiety. Lisa also attends to multicultural issues and the pressures young adults may face around identity and family expectations.

Her approach aims to balance challenge and support. Sessions tend to be direct but compassionate, with room for humor when it helps. She encourages people to take small, sustainable steps toward the life they want, even when change feels hard.

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

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to what matters most to the client and adjust pacing and goals in real time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In remote work this often looks like reviewing thought patterns, setting small experiments between sessions, and practicing new skills in day-to-day life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Remotely, DBT practice can include teaching distress-tolerance techniques and coaching on emotion regulation during session time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on the person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. That process may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The practical upside of online therapy is fitting sessions into busy days. It can make it easier to attend from different locations, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they match scheduling and communication needs.
