About Lisa

Lisa Fix is an Illinois-licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 33 years of experience in community mental health, hospital-based eating disorder care, and university counseling settings.

Background and approach

Her path into the helping professions was shaped by personal and professional experiences, and she uses that perspective to collaborate with clients in developing an individualized plan for change. Lisa draws from a range of therapeutic approaches to meet the needs presented in sessions and invites questions so clients can feel informed about the process.

Her manner is described as caring and non-judgmental, with a relaxed, personal style that still offers direct feedback when appropriate. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can move at a pace that suits them.

Lisa’s clinical interests include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, eating and body image concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD, mood and personality issues, and related areas such as panic, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and postpartum depression. Outside of practice she enjoys exercise, gardening, time with companion animals, and staying engaged with social justice topics.

She encourages prospective clients to treat an initial contact like an interview to determine whether the therapeutic fit feels right for both parties.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Lisa often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic; it also supports skills for eating and body image concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then tailor methods from client-centered, CBT, DBT or other approaches to match the client’s needs and pace of change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or mobility limits, and allow continuing care when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent support, teach coping skills, and monitor progress over time, while adapting the mode of contact to what works best for the client.
