About Lisa
Lisa Rivers is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP 3666) with 29 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and other life changes. She works in English and practices in Minnesota.
Rivers focuses on clear, practical steps in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps people name patterns that keep causing problems. Conversations cover communication skills, managing strong feelings like anger, and rebuilding self-worth. She also addresses sleep trouble, intimacy concerns, career stress, and parenting strain.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges. She uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s actual concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more useful routines.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice bodily and emotional reactions before they escalate. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when a person wants to identify immediate, practical changes they can try between sessions. These methods are mixed to match what a person needs in the moment.
People who come for anger-related concerns can expect direct discussion of triggers and habits that keep anger recurring. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, concrete coping steps, and ways to reduce tension in daily life. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's scheduling steps and complete a brief matching questionnaire.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches you might use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the person's concerns and priorities, helping them talk through what matters most and notice patterns in everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing alternative ideas, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger-related reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift.
