About Lisa
Lisa Tran is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. Lisa also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and career questions.
She aims to make first steps toward change feel manageable and supported. Lisa builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak frankly about hard feelings. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps so progress feels tangible.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and learning ways to cope when emotions run high. Her work addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, commitment and control struggles, and the stress of caregiving. She also offers support around kink and alternative sex culture and the complexities that can bring into relationships.
Lisa helps people untangle family problems, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood concerns. When grief, guilt, or shame make daily life heavy, she helps clients find ways to carry those feelings differently. She also supports people working through infidelity, isolation, and feelings of emptiness.
Practical coaching for career and motivation is available alongside therapy work. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lisa emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps so clients can build skills and notice change over time.

Approaches that guide online work and practical tools
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques used in Lisa's work focus on practical skills and behavior changes. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful patterns in thoughts and actions and replacing them with small, manageable experiments that reduce stress and reactive anger. This helps people see how new choices change daily life.Another key element is attachment-focused work that looks at recurring relationship patterns. That approach helps people understand where fears of abandonment or control issues come from and teaches ways to communicate needs more clearly. It is useful for improving trust and reducing relationship-driven anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the client feel steadier and more effective.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
