About Lisa

Lisa Connelly, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, has 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and other life challenges. Lisa works with adults around parenting, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD in straightforward, goal-focused sessions.

She uses practical talk therapy and a mix of well-known approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. Sessions include exercises and skills practice drawn from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior ideas when helpful. Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship and intimacy issues.

Lisa trained and worked in multiple treatment settings early in her career. Her background includes therapeutic group homes, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, chemical dependency detox and residential programs, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice. That experience exposed her to a wide range of concerns and care approaches.

Her style is conversational and directed toward workable steps people can try between sessions. She helps clients identify problems, test small changes, and track progress. The focus is on what changes are realistic for each person’s life and responsibilities.

Lisa aims to build a working relationship that supports problem solving and clearer choices. She asks about goals up front and adjusts methods as those goals shift. Clients leave sessions with specific skills or experiments to try before the next meeting.

Therapeutic approaches used and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with experiments or exercises. This approach helps with depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and everyday demands. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress and needs change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking if you need a specific setup. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists commonly use talk sessions and guided skills practice that translate well to a remote setting, and they will discuss practical details and scheduling when you set up your first appointment.
