About Lisa
Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self-esteem, and depression and helps young adults facing the common pressures of early adulthood.
Lisa has worked in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization settings as well as private practice. That background means she is familiar with people who feel stuck in repetitive patterns and who need concrete steps to change day-to-day life. Her manner is direct and collaborative, aiming for real conversation rather than a lecture.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. In practice this looks like identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building skills for emotion regulation, and paying attention to body sensations that connect to anxiety or eating struggles.
Lisa often supports clients working through identity and family expectation issues, including multicultural concerns. She also addresses OCD-related symptoms, phobias, trichotillomania, and body image problems by combining skill-building with practical behavior changes.
Sessions aim to balance goal-focused work with moments of straightforward reflection. For many people in their late teens and twenties she focuses on problems like feeling behind, navigating first jobs or college transitions, and managing social anxiety or perfectionism. The approach is practical and paced to each person's situation.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person's concerns in a nonjudgmental way so they can say what matters most. It helps when someone needs time to clarify goals and feel heard before moving into skills training.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, and eating-related patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. These tools are useful when strong emotions or repetitive behaviors get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides the choices about methods and pace.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into college schedules, work breaks, or busy days. They can allow shorter check-ins, sessions without camera use if needed, or sessions that avoid travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking so you can match format to your routine.
