About Lisa

Lisa Haughey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a combination of evidence-based methods to support clients facing life changes, grief, trauma, intimacy or relationship challenges, and career or parenting concerns. Her background also includes work with clients who have intersecting issues such as bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, and substance dependency.

Haughey’s style is warm, interactive, and pragmatic; she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and straightforward guidance. She aims to help clients build practical skills and shifts in mindset rather than imposing labels, and she balances compassion with direct feedback when it helps progress.

In addition to core specialty areas, her practice addresses a wide range of related concerns including abandonment, blended family dynamics, communication and control issues, caregiver stress, body image, and recovery after involvement with the criminal justice system. Licensed in multiple states, Haughey brings 34 years of professional work to each client relationship.

She welcomes people who are exploring faith or spirituality as part of their healing and supports a collaborative process that honors each person’s unique path.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many other concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused conversation style that strengthens a person’s own motivation to change and can be especially helpful when addressing addictions or readiness for new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That means techniques may be blended or adjusted over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular therapy into busy lives, support continuity when facing transitions, and allow clients to choose the mode of communication that helps them engage most effectively.
