About Lisa

Lisa Patton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting concerns, and anger. She works in English and supports adults navigating mood and coping challenges.

Her approach centers on listening and responding to what the person brings. She uses client-centered methods to focus on the person’s experience and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions aim to make small changes that reduce tension and improve day-to-day functioning.

Lisa often works with people facing life changes such as separation, adoption or foster care challenges, and postpartum adjustments. She also supports those coping with trauma, sleep disruption, panic, obsessive behaviors, and low self-esteem. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common themes in her work.

In sessions she encourages straightforward conversation about feelings and reactions. She helps people notice patterns that keep anger or resentment cycling and practices new ways to respond. That can mean short exercises, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what worked.

Lisa uses a direct, person-focused style to set goals and track progress. She asks about what is most urgent and helps people break larger problems into manageable steps. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the therapist’s online options.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. It involves open listening and reflecting what the person says so they can explore feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through anger, grief, or relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses clear exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and patterns that fuel anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in as work progresses and adjusts strategies based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it simpler to continue work between appointments and practice new skills in everyday settings.
