About Lisa
Lisa Dorfman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of practice based in Florida. She helps people who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, eating and body image concerns, and career or relationship strain. Her background also includes work around trauma and first responder issues, postpartum and end-of-life concerns, and caregiving stress.
She uses a mix of common therapeutic approaches in her work. Lisa adapts what she does to each person, drawing on client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, dialectical skills, and EMDR where appropriate.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and steady progress rather than vague promises. In a typical session she helps a person name the problem, try a few strategies, and track what helps. That could mean learning breathing and grounding skills, practicing new ways of thinking about upsetting events, or using structured exercises to manage anger and reactivity.
Nutrition and lifestyle factors are considered when relevant to symptoms like fatigue or eating concerns. She aims to be collaborative and straightforward. Lisa encourages small steps and celebrates practical gains.
Her style suits people who want hands-on techniques and steady guidance while working through life changes or recovering from difficult events. Clients can expect a focus on building confidence, reducing overwhelm, and improving day-to-day functioning. Lisa supports people in finding workable strategies they can use outside of sessions to manage stress and move toward their goals.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward their priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and eating concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help stress, anger, and trauma symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, trial a few methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to match techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness practice, or client-centered conversation to a person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
