About Lisa
Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, career pressures, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses areas such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, blended family issues, and intimacy-related topics.
She starts by helping people notice how they naturally react to stressful situations. Lisa treats emotional responses as normal and focuses on what happens next. She offers a steady, neutral perspective and helps clients choose practical steps that fit their day-to-day life.
Her overall stance is Client-Centered, which means the client sets the pace and priorities in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to link thoughts and actions, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing often appear in her work to support clearer choices.
Sessions tend to build on strengths someone already has rather than starting from scratch. Lisa draws on Narrative and other approaches when it helps to shift how a problem is seen. She emphasizes simple, realistic changes people can try between sessions.
Her practice is grounded in years of working with people under stress, including parents, people facing addiction in themselves or loved ones, and professionals managing burnout. Lisa aims to help clients gain more confidence in handling difficult situations going forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered work focuses on the client's priorities and lets each session move at a comfortable pace. CBT links thoughts and behaviors and is often used for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood problems to try small, practical experiments that change day-to-day responses. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and how earlier bonds influence current reactions. That approach can help when anger or withdrawal shows up in close relationships by identifying interaction cycles and offering different ways to respond. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa will work with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as needed. The work is collaborative and focused on realistic steps someone can use between sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a break, not needing to travel, or avoiding video when audio feels better. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they work on managing anger and related concerns.Areas of focus
