About Lisa
Lisa Fix is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 33 years of experience. She chose this work because of a personal background that drew her toward helping others, and she speaks from both professional and lived experience. Lisa aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, straightforward place to start.
Her practice background includes community mental health, a hospital-based eating disorders program, and a university counseling center. That range shapes how she adapts support for different problems. Lisa draws on several approaches and tailors sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.
In sessions she keeps the tone personal and relaxed. She asks questions, listens closely, and offers direct feedback when clients want it. The pace is set by the person seeking help, and Lisa emphasizes feeling heard and respected throughout the process.
She commonly helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body-image struggles, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include communication problems, family of origin issues, and obsessive or compulsive symptoms.
Outside of work she enjoys exercise, gardening, coffee, chocolate, companion animals, and following social justice topics. She encourages people to ask questions and to treat a first contact as a way to see whether it feels like a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons for change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and supporting motivation for steps a person wants to take.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist offers empathetic listening and reflection so the person can explore feelings and choices at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often includes practical exercises and small experiments to help reduce anxiety, depressive moods, or unhelpful behavior patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods make the most sense. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what a person needs and wants to try.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals use these methods to help people practice new skills, manage distressing symptoms, and work toward concrete goals while balancing everyday responsibilities. -
