01About Lisa
Lisa Cruz is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. She works with adults to address issues such as grief, addiction, relationship strain, and feelings of emptiness. Lisa aims to build practical coping skills so people can move forward with everyday life.
She draws on a mix of counseling methods rather than a single formula. Sessions often focus on identifying clear goals, taking small steps, and practicing new ways of thinking and coping.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a straightforward, goal-focused style that centers their experience and priorities. Lisa has three years of clinical experience that includes work at a community mental health center and counseling college students. That background shaped her interest in combining structured techniques with a person-centered way of listening.
Her experience includes supporting people with trauma, bipolar and other mood concerns, and symptoms related to stress and psychosis. In a typical meeting she helps clients spot unhelpful thought patterns, try new coping strategies, and measure progress against concrete goals. She also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and struggles with life purpose.
The approach aims to be practical and usable between sessions. Therapy with Lisa can use different formats depending on what fits the person best. She conducts sessions in English and practices several evidence-informed approaches to adapt to each person’s needs.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space for people to describe what matters most. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive listener who helps them find their own solutions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It pairs well with skills-based work and can help with stress, compulsive habits, and rumination.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and when to shift direction.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
