01About Lisa
Lisa Draper is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and life changes. She uses direct, down-to-earth language and practical strategies so people feel understood and able to try something that might help.
Lisa brings a calm, steady presence to sessions and treats each meeting as a step forward in a person’s journey. Lisa draws on seven years of counseling experience and a varied background that includes military service, corrections work, firefighting, and emergency medical response.
Background and approach
That history shapes how she listens and responds to people who have faced intense or complex situations. She has worked with adults dealing with substance use concerns and often sees overlapping struggles like depression, anxiety, and traumatic memories. Her approach blends several methods to match what each person needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small, values-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to develop calm and present-moment focus.
Lisa also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are causing distress, and she relies on a client-centered stance to keep the person’s goals at the forefront. Sessions aim to be collaborative, practical, and paced to the individual.
People who choose Lisa typically want straightforward guidance, coping skills that fit daily life, and someone who understands high-stress work and military experience. She offers therapy in English and supports international clients through online formats.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Lisa often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help when stress, anxiety, or life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods if something is not helping. Sessions are paced to the individual's needs so the plan evolves over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, written reflections, or shorter coaching-style touches between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules, shift work, or limited mobility.
