About Lisa

Lisa Scott is a licensed social worker with 32 years of clinical experience based in Michigan.

Background and approach

She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, anger, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career transitions, and ADHD. Her practice emphasizes thoughtful, person-focused care that helps individuals clarify goals and develop practical coping skills.

Her therapeutic style blends empathy with evidence-based techniques, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, emotionally-focused work, and existential perspectives. She pays close attention to patterns of attachment, communication, impulsivity, and the ways prejudice or life changes can affect well-being.

Sessions aim to build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and support clients through major life shifts. Clients find a steady, compassionate presence and a focus on collaboration as they explore challenges and solutions.

Lisa holds an LMSW and offers services via multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, helping clients engage in sustained work toward clearer priorities and healthier functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Scott integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and impulsivity, and it often includes practical exercises for everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility by learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with personal values, which can be useful for stress, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns to improve relational and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning can include trying different strategies and adapting techniques as work progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and energy levels. These formats allow clients to maintain continuity of care from different locations, make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, and support steady progress through regular connection with a licensed professional.
