About Lisa

Lisa Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, addiction-related struggles, and career or life-change issues.

She focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations. Sessions look at what's happening now and what patterns contribute to repeated reactions. Lisa uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelming feelings and to build clearer choices in daily life. She often combines approaches that address thoughts, behaviors, and personal stories.

Clients come when resentment builds, temper flares with people close to them, stress at work feels intolerable, or they are coping with another person’s anger. Lisa pays attention to how past wounds and attachment patterns affect current behavior. She works with issues related to abandonment, foster and adoption histories, and attachment problems as part of this picture.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, narrative work to reframe life events, mindfulness techniques for calmer responding, and Jungian ideas for deeper personal meaning. Solution-focused steps are used for fast, practical change when a clear goal is present.

Sessions are delivered in English. Lisa accepts international clients. Her approach aims to help people find clearer responses to anger and stronger ways to cope with stress and loss.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that trigger anger. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that lower emotional intensity and support calmer choices. Mindfulness exercises are brief and easy to fit into a daily routine.

She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current difficulties, goals, and preferences and then try strategies that fit those aims. Adjustments are made over time so the methods match what is helping and what feels manageable.

Confirm the session formats before booking because specifics are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice between-session exercises when therapy fits naturally into their schedule rather than requiring extra trips.
