About Lisa

Lisa Henthorn is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self esteem, and depression. She supports those facing life changes, grief, and relationship or communication struggles. Lisa also works with clients dealing with ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns around intimacy and body image.

She uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to make space for hard feelings. Lisa aims for practical steps that can be tried between sessions. She focuses on building skills for everyday life and strengthening confidence over time.

Her approach blends methods that suit the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills are often used to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and solution-focused techniques are used when practical skill-building and clear goals help move things forward.

Clients can expect a direct but compassionate tone that emphasizes small, achievable changes. Lisa encourages open discussion about what is and isn’t working, and she adjusts the plan as needed. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with everyday experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help clients notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting overwhelmed. These approaches aim to give concrete tools people can use between sessions to build self esteem and manage stress. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can guide how to use skills learned in sessions during everyday moments to support ongoing change.
