About Lisa
Lisa Patton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Her work is direct and practical, focused on helping clients find clearer ways to manage strong emotions and daily struggles.
She uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and perspectives. That means the session is often about listening carefully and reflecting back what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for change.
Sessions are straightforward. Lisa encourages people to talk through what is happening now and practice specific tools between visits. She emphasizes problem-solving for things like sleep disruption, mood swings, panic, and worry as well as handling conflict and resentment that build up over time.
Her experience includes work with trauma and abuse, postpartum mood concerns, obsessive thoughts, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing life transitions such as adoption and foster care adjustments, divorce or separation, and job or role changes.
Lisa works in English and does not take international clients. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see whether her approach fits their goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's goals and reflecting what they say. Online sessions using this approach help the client lead the conversation and decide which issues to address first. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches small, practical exercises to try between sessions. CBT online often uses focused check-ins and homework to track progress and build skills for worry, anger, sleep, and panic.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT skill-building, or a mix. That choice is based on the client's needs, goals, and what feels most useful in session rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in her profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It also makes it simpler to continue weekly practice and reminders between visits while trying strategies for anger, stress, and relationship communication.
