About Lisa

Lisa Sack, LMFT, brings 19 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, parenting concerns, and a range of mood and behavioral issues including depression, bipolar conditions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with respect for their knowledge of their own life, building on individual strengths to address difficulties such as grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and self-harm.

Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins with small, courageous steps toward clearer goals and healthier patterns. She aims to empower clients rather than prescribe one-size-fits-all answers, supporting practical coping strategies and emotional processing tailored to the person in front of her.

Licensed to practice in Virginia, she offers a compassionate, steady presence while helping clients find workable changes that fit their lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and emotional processing. One common approach involves active problem-solving and coping skill development to reduce stress and manage symptoms like anxiety, ADHD-related difficulties, and mood fluctuations; this helps clients develop concrete routines and tools for daily challenges. Another approach emphasizes processing emotions and experiences related to trauma, grief, or relationship pain, allowing clients to work through difficult memories and improve intimacy and self-esteem over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to identify goals, try methods that suit their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to share feedback so techniques can be tailored for how they respond and what fits their life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering greater flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy weeks, support consistent practice of new skills between sessions, and allow people in Virginia to connect with a licensed professional in ways that match their comfort and daily routine.
