About Lisa

Lisa Zwagerman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who brings three years of clinical experience to people navigating life transitions and emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She has worked as a mental health counselor, career counselor, and life coach, helping clients address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family stress, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and ADHD. Her background includes supporting college-age clients, new parents, physician families, women’s issues, people facing career changes, and school-age children.

Her therapeutic stance is warm, empathetic, and strengths-oriented, and she aims to partner with clients rather than direct them. Lisa leans toward client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches while also employing mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques when appropriate.

She values collaboration and believes seeking help reflects resilience and courage. Her practice focuses on practical strategies and supportive exploration to help clients manage stress, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's experience and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual guides the focus of sessions and the therapist provides empathy and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be delivered effectively through conversation and practice assignments. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and breathing or attention practices to help reduce reactivity and manage stress, and these skills are easy to practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lisa works with clients to identify which methods suit their needs and goals, adapting strategies over time and combining techniques as helpful. The therapist and client decide together what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress and preferences emerge.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines. These formats support ongoing work between meetings, allow for quick check-ins when useful, and make it easier to access a licensed professional from different locations within Wisconsin.
