Lisa Simpson

Lisa Simpson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people coping with depression, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. She works with teens and adults who are having trouble trusting others, sleeping or eating well, concentrating, or feeling joy. Her style aims to make talking about hard things feel doable and direct. She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions look at relationships, work stress, parenting strains, and major life changes. Lisa also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, anger, and questions about self-esteem and life purpose. Her approach blends several methods to match each person. Client-Centered work keeps the conversation focused on what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel stuck. With 12 years of experience, she draws on both short-term tools and deeper exploration when needed. Lisa pays attention to patterns that come from family history, adoption or blended family dynamics, and issues that emerge later in life such as aging concerns. She practices in Indiana and speaks English. People coming from other regions may work with her as she accepts international clients. To get started, visitors typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, which helps build trust and make sessions feel personal whether meeting in person or online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try new responses between sessions; this works well in a virtual setting because homework and skill practice can be tracked and reviewed easily. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be done conversationally to boost readiness and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa treats the choice of methods as collaborative, checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the plan based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. She blends practical techniques and deeper exploration so the process fits each person.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients keep notes or worksheets handy during the session and bring examples from daily life into the conversation.
