About Lisa
Lisa Stammerjohann is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses young adults face such as anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns and coping with big life changes.
She brings a values-informed viewpoint to sessions and helps people clarify what matters to them. Sessions often include talking through day-to-day stress, practical coping strategies for sleep and mood, and steps for managing addictions or anger when those problems appear.
Her work emphasizes looking at personal history and current patterns. She helps people notice how past family relationships affect present choices and emotions. That can include grief, guilt, shame, or feeling stuck about life purpose.
Conversations tend to combine straightforward skills work with deeper reflection. Cognitive-behavioral ideas are used to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques support taking values-based action even with uncomfortable feelings.
She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to improve how people relate to themselves and others. These approaches aim to strengthen self-understanding and build healthier ways of connecting.
People often come for help with transitioning stages of life: moving out, starting or changing jobs, relationship shifts, or the particular pressures of young adulthood. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Therapeutic approaches used and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences stop them from doing what matters. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth, and finding direction during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and habits. CBT is often used for sleep problems, mood management, and handling stress in work or study.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s perspective to foster clearer self-awareness. Emotionally-Focused elements help identify and shift patterns in close relationships and personal reactions.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time rather than committing to one single technique up front.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know the available online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school or work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also reduce the need for being on camera when bandwidth or time is limited, but please verify which formats are offered for sessions with this therapist.
