About Lisa
Lisa Warden is a licensed social worker with 16 years of clinical experience. She blends a practical focus on the mind-body connection with a warm, flexible manner. Lisa often uses humor and straightforward guidance to help people feel more able to try new ways of coping.
She began her career as a massage therapist and carries that body-aware perspective into her work. That background informs how she talks about stress, sleep, and physical reactions tied to emotions.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how physical habits and tension affect daily life. Lisa has concentrated much of her practice on trauma recovery, addictions, and personality-related concerns. She helps people who feel stuck in survival patterns find skills and small changes that make life more manageable.
She emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional processing. Her approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential ideas, and EMDR. Sessions typically focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and shifting unhelpful routines.
She works collaboratively to set goals and try strategies that fit each person’s life. People seeking help for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, or caregiver stress may find her approach relevant. Lisa also supports concerns such as body image, chronic illness, and career strain.
She welcomes international clients and offers several online formats to fit different needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lisa integrates EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, and client-centered methods into online work. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce distress related to past events. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, validation, and collaborating on goals so people feel heard and respected.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This collaborative planning helps match techniques to what feels most useful and workable in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for in-depth work and more interactive skill teaching. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and messaging let people check in between longer sessions, do brief coaching, or access support when schedules are tight. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
