About Lisa

Lisa Draper is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and related concerns including ADHD.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative journey, meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them as they move toward clearer coping and greater emotional balance. With seven years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's needs.

Her background includes work with people facing complex, intersecting challenges such as chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and the aftermath of relationship separations. Lisa integrates acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered listening, cognitive tools, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques to address symptoms and build practical skills.

She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English, and adapts format and pace according to what best supports a client's goals and lifestyle.

Integrating proven approaches in online care

Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing mood, sleep, anger, and everyday challenges. CBT offers structured tools for symptom relief and behavior change. When trauma memories are prominent, she may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support processing of distressing experiences and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adjusting methods as needed to fit what works best for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and let clients choose formats that match their comfort and communication style.
