    About Lisa

    Lisa Hess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, career questions, and ADHD-related struggles. Her approach aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to face everyday demands.

    She brings warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor to sessions. Lisa encourages people to name their fears and doubts so they become easier to manage. She emphasizes building patience and self-compassion as a way to change how people relate to themselves and others.

    Lisa blends several practical methods in her work. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Narrative and existential ideas are woven in when they fit the client's story and concerns.

    With 15 years of experience, Lisa aims for clear conversations and real next steps each session. She focuses on helping clients notice small shifts that add up over time. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

    Lisa practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients choose therapy by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

  2. How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work

    Many of Lisa’s methods focus on clear conversation and practical change. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for making shifts in behavior and attitude, which can be useful for goals like improving sleep, changing habits, or addressing substance use concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental stance that helps people feel heard and understood during honest conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with exercises and small, measurable steps to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a motivational style for a while, adding CBT tools for day-to-day coping, or using narrative ideas to reframe a life story. The plan changes as progress is made.

    If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer sessions without video to conserve bandwidth or to keep sessions brief during a work break. Talk with Lisa about practical needs and scheduling so sessions work with your everyday life.
