Lisa Simpson, LMHC

Lisa Simpson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps teens and adults facing depression, anxiety, and the aftereffects of trauma. She focuses on real-life problems that make day-to-day tasks harder, such as trouble sleeping, changes in appetite, low energy, or difficulty concentrating. Lisa speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.

Clients find straightforward conversation and practical steps in sessions. Lisa uses client-centered methods to build trust and make space for each person's experience. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new, small behaviors that can improve mood.

Her background includes 12 years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns. She helps people navigate relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, addiction issues, and major life transitions. Lisa also addresses family-of-origin patterns, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and aging and geriatric issues when they arise in a person's story.

Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Lisa pays attention to how symptoms affect daily life and focuses on realistic steps clients can take between meetings. The overall goal is clearer thinking, better routines, and stronger ability to handle stress.

She practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. International clients are accepted. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so they feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone is struggling with trust, low mood, or life changes and needs a steady, supportive space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and rebuilding routines that have been disrupted.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, and then recommend ways to try different techniques in session. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. They can also let people work through practical problems using worksheets and behavioral experiments between meetings.
