About Lisa
Lisa Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anger, depression, and other struggles. She focuses on straightforward support and practical skills so clients can feel steadier day to day. Her style is warm and down-to-earth.
Sessions focus on what matters now and what the person wants to change. She uses tools that suit each person instead of one fixed method. The goal is clearer thinking and better coping skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Lisa earned a master's degree in psychology and has three years of clinical experience. She has worked in a community mental health center and provided counseling to college students. That mix of settings shaped her practical, results-oriented approach.
In session she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused conversations. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they match a person's goals. Together these methods are used to reduce intense emotions, manage mood swings, and handle life changes.
She pays attention to symptoms like anxiety, trauma, addiction, and grief while also addressing deeper concerns such as shame, emptiness, and life purpose. People looking for help with anger, coping skills, or moving through difficult transitions often find the sessions direct and task-focused. Lisa works in English and offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules.
New clients begin by completing a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Practical approaches for online support
Client-centered therapy puts the person's needs and goals first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person steer the conversation toward practical change. This approach helps when someone needs an empathetic space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses clear, structured techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger by changing unhelpful thinking and building new coping skills. Solution-focused techniques add short-term goal-setting and quick, actionable steps to move forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than forcing one way of working. This shared decision-making helps shape usable plans and small experiments to try between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
