About Lisa

Lisa Draper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, or life changes. She uses straightforward language and a calm presence to help people talk through what is happening now and find steps they can try right away.

She views each session as part of a journey and aims to walk beside clients rather than push or pull them.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with practical strategies and options drawn from several therapy methods. Lisa pays attention to mood, sleep, anger, and the everyday habits that keep problems going. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience working with adults facing substance use concerns alongside depression, anxiety, and traumatic memories.

That history shaped a problem-solving orientation that combines tools for coping in the moment with ways to change patterns over time. Lisa draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and act on it.

She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people processing distressing memories when that fits the client's goals. She offers sessions from Michigan and works in English. Lisa aims to be practical, direct, and compassionate while helping people rebuild routines, improve sleep and mood, manage cravings, or process difficult events.

If someone wants to begin, she encourages taking a first small step and matching with a therapist who fits their needs.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Lisa blends cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that help people notice unhelpful thinking and learn small, concrete skills to change behavior. CBT focuses on identifying patterns and testing different actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and managing cravings. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people move toward what matters even when tough emotions are present.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing memories when that approach suits a client's goals; this method involves processing memories while using structured bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of the memory and its hold on daily life. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - she works collaboratively with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Video lets you work face-to-face from a distance, phone sessions use less bandwidth when needed, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
