About Lisa
Lisa Lee-Briggs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with thirteen years of clinical experience in California. She focuses on practical, straightforward work to help people untangle relationship strain, manage anger, and navigate parenting and family conflicts. She speaks English and French and aims to meet people where they are in everyday life.
She centers sessions on clear communication and problem solving. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation so therapy feels relevant and doable.
Background and approach
Lisa prefers to move from assigning blame toward understanding how each person experiences a problem and how they can change patterns that keep them stuck. Her approach uses concrete techniques drawn from evidence-based therapies and experiential strategies. That mix helps with mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, as well as coping after trauma, grief, or major life changes.
She also supports people dealing with addictive behaviors, eating and body-image concerns, and challenges with impulsivity or control issues. Lisa often helps clients address family of origin issues, blended family adjustments, divorce and separation stress, and the isolation that can follow big life disruptions. She also works with people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and low self-esteem.
Her style is direct but compassionate, aimed at finding what actually works for each person. To begin, she asks questions about daily life, relationships, and goals, then tailors a plan that fits those needs. The goal is steady progress through practical steps and clearer communication.

Therapeutic approaches and online session options
Lisa integrates evidence-based techniques with experiential methods to create practical, change-focused work. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors that reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. These methods are useful for day-to-day coping and for changing repetitive patterns that cause relationship strain.She also draws on gestalt-oriented strategies that encourage paying attention to present-moment experience and interpersonal dynamics. Those approaches help people notice what happens between them and others, try new ways of communicating, and repair patterns in relationships and family interactions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily routines and will suggest techniques that match those needs. Together you’ll test what works and adjust the plan as you go, keeping the focus on practical progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat suits those who prefer typed dialogue, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
