Lisa Draper, LPC

Lisa Draper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with seven years of counseling experience. She draws on a long personal history that includes military service, emergency response work, and time in corrections to relate to practical stressors and work-related strain. Lisa focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

She uses straightforward talk and problem-solving rather than jargon. Sessions often look at patterns that keep someone stuck and small, doable steps to try differently. Lisa also brings approaches that help with grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and the strain of caregiving or chronic illness.

Her background includes a tour of duty in the U.S. Army and several years as a corrections deputy, along with work as a firefighter and paramedic. Those roles shaped how she listens for practical barriers and safety in a person’s day-to-day life. Her time supporting adults with substance use concerns gave her experience working with overlapping issues like trauma and depression.

In session she describes herself as a partner who walks alongside clients, not someone who pushes or pulls. She blends client-centered conversation with specific tools from therapies like ACT, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness. That mix is used to address recurring anger, difficult memories, unhelpful thinking, and patterns that affect relationships.

People who want clear, action-oriented conversations about anger, coping, or recovering from difficult events may find her approach direct and practical. Prospective clients should review online therapy options and scheduling steps before booking.
