About Lisa
Lisa Raley is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She works with adults facing depression, trauma, relationship strain, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and questions about identity and purpose. Her approach focuses on building strengths rather than blaming or labeling people.
She sees the whole person - mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and social aspects all matter. Lisa helps clients notice which areas feel drained and teaches steps to restore balance.
Background and approach
That can mean learning new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, or practicing simple mindfulness exercises. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Lisa uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy among other approaches.
She explains tools in plain language and helps people try them between sessions so progress becomes part of daily life. Her work also addresses grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and career or financial worries. People who feel stuck after a breakup, a loss, or a big life change often find help reorganizing priorities and rebuilding routines.
Lisa is based in Alabama and holds an AL LICSW, which is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She combines experience and a straightforward style to help people find more balance and move toward goals at a manageable pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values even when difficult feelings show up. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills; it is helpful for intense mood swings, anger, and problems staying steady under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. That means trying concrete tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people have a full conversation face to face. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people work on anger, stress, and emotional regulation without needing to travel to an office.
