About Lisa
Lisa Dorfman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, eating and body image concerns, anger, relationship strain, career issues, grief, trauma and parenting challenges. Lisa also addresses caregiver stress, first responder issues, postpartum depression, and related concerns noted in her practice.
Her background blends counseling and nutrition knowledge. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and mindfulness-based tools. She also uses EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when they fit the person’s needs. Sessions include practical skills such as breathing and motivation work along with conversations about eating and energy levels.
Lisa’s style is straightforward and results-focused. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping skills for day-to-day life. For anger this can mean learning short-term strategies to calm intense moments and longer-term work on underlying triggers and beliefs.
She often integrates eating and nutrition conversations into treatment when relevant, especially for people who notice food and body image issues tied to mood or stress. Lisa draws on a range of tools rather than a single method, adjusting techniques to the person's goals.
People who want practical steps and a mix of talk therapy and skills training may find this approach useful. To begin, clients follow the site's booking flow to complete a brief matching form and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist focuses on the person’s goals and follows their lead in deciding what to work on, which helps with motivation and building trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that fuel problems and teaches concrete strategies to change them, useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal stress.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed. That means some sessions may focus on skills practice while others involve processing memories or reviewing eating and nutrition-related patterns when relevant.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to keep regular check-ins. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins, use guided breathing or mindfulness exercises between meetings, and apply homework in real time during a normal day.
