About Lisa
Lisa Connelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, family and intimacy-related issues, and challenges linked to life changes and ADHD.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward, practical way. Conversations focus on current problems and skills that can help day-to-day functioning. Tools are drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment work, and client-centered methods to match what the person needs.
Lisa’s background includes many clinical settings. She has worked in psychiatric hospitals, chemical dependency treatment, outpatient clinics, therapeutic group homes, and private practice. That variety shapes a flexible approach to different kinds of stress and recovery.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, observable strategies, and improving relationships and routines. Lisa helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of coping with feelings, boundaries, and communication.
She is direct and practical with relapse prevention, grief work, and relationship repair. For people facing life transitions such as starting a job, moving, or recovering after a separation, she helps break larger problems into manageable steps.
People seeking out support are asked to complete a short questionnaire to begin. This helps match priorities and set initial goals for therapy.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It teaches committed action toward values and can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical strategies. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and specific behavior changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and sharpening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for mood swings, relationship conflicts, and self-regulation difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. That choice can evolve as sessions continue and priorities change.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, appointments that avoid travel time, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
