About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, addictions, relationship and family issues, and the challenges that come with life transitions.
She has particular experience helping young adults cope with leaving home, starting work or school, and feeling behind peers. She also supports caregivers, people facing discrimination, and those dealing with grief or trauma. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague language.
Her style draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment methods, and client-centered listening. That means she helps people notice their thoughts, clarify values, and try different behaviors to see what helps in daily life.
Clients can expect direct conversation about communication, attachment patterns, and intimacy-related struggles. She also works on concrete skills for managing impulsivity, obsessions and compulsions, and seasonal mood shifts.
Over three decades she has combined several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She aims to help people plan next steps, practice new responses, and track small gains over time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Lisa Scott uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as core tools in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters and practicing small actions that align with those values rather than getting stuck on difficult thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what fits day-to-day life. That means you and she review what helps, adjust tools, and set small, testable steps together.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and options that do not require being on camera if that helps you engage. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to work in remote appointments while focusing on practical skills and goals.
