About Lisa

Lisa Adler is a licensed professional counselor in South Dakota with 26 years of clinical experience who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide clients through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes that each person is the expert in their own story and draws on clients' strengths to build practical strategies for change. Adler approaches therapy with openness and honesty, offering assessments grounded in research and collaborative treatment planning aimed at real-world goals.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where empowerment and practical problem solving are central. Lisa notes that seeking therapy is a courageous step and that she partners with people to work through life transitions, coping difficulties, and complex issues such as trauma, addiction, intimacy concerns, and career stress.

She communicates with clients through the platform a few times daily and asks for patience when scheduling or message replies take longer due to other responsibilities. Her practice combines clinical experience with a strengths-based focus to help clients move toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care That Fit Your Life



Many of Lisa Adler's methods draw on well-supported therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and behavioral change. Cognitive approaches help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools for daily life. Behavioral strategies complement this work by developing routines and skills to improve sleep, manage impulses, address addictions, and support attention-related challenges such as ADHD. These approaches are useful for goal-oriented work and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa takes a collaborative stance to determine what fits each client's needs and preferences. She will discuss options, set clear goals together, and adapt techniques as progress unfolds so the plan remains aligned with the client's priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules. These options can increase accessibility for people who need convenience or who prefer different modes of communication, while still allowing licensed professionals to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed care.
