About Lisa

Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by everyday stresses, relationship strains, grief, addiction concerns, or the low mood of depression. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel more confident managing life’s challenges.

She has worked in therapy for 19 years and has supported people facing trauma, family conflict, parenting stress, workplace burnout, and struggles with intimacy and identity. Lisa emphasizes that emotional reactions are normal and that change often starts with what comes after those reactions. She offers a steady, neutral perspective while helping each person find solutions that fit their life.

Her approach centers on a client-directed, person-centered stance where clients set the pace and priorities. She combines that with attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns and cognitive-behavioral techniques to notice thoughts that affect behavior. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are also mixed in to build practical skills for coping and decision-making.

Sessions focus on identifying realistic next steps, strengthening existing skills, and exploring patterns that keep problems stuck. Lisa adapts methods to the individual rather than applying a single template. She aims to help people regain a sense of control and move toward goals that matter to them.

People often come for help with communication problems, family of origin issues, codependency, chronic illness stress, or feelings of emptiness and shame. Lisa works in English and practices in California as an LMFT.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Lisa uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape how people respond today. This approach can help when relationship patterns, abandonment worries, or trust issues keep repeating.

She also draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help identify thoughts that lead to unhelpful behaviors and mood shifts. CBT-style work often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjust as work proceeds, and focus on goals that matter to the individual.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people choose quieter times or simpler setups, like audio-only conversations, depending on what suits them best.
