Online therapy grounded in practical, evidence-based care

Lisa Draper integrates approaches that help clients build clarity, coping skills, and momentum when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing realistic alternatives, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day problem solving.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-driven goals. It can be helpful when people feel stuck, discouraged, or pulled off course by worry, guilt, or painful experiences. Lisa also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach often used to help people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of triggers connected to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are facing, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most useful, then adjusts the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent support with flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of formats can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, and choose the level of structure and pacing that suits them best.
