Lisa Stammerjohann, LPC

Lisa Stammerjohann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. Lisa offers straightforward, compassionate support for everyday problems and longer-term concerns.

Her work often centers on isolation, life purpose, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and personal growth. She also helps with career challenges, coping after trauma, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. Aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress are included among the concerns she addresses.

Lisa draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to create a respectful, listening space.

With many years of practice, she aims to help people build skills for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and reducing compulsive or addictive behaviors. Lisa also supports those facing midlife change, parenting strain, hoarding, and feelings of emptiness.

Clients can expect clear, plainspoken guidance and a focus on real-life coping. The goal is to find workable steps that fit everyday life and move toward lasting change.

How therapeutic approaches shape online therapy

Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that matter to them. This approach can help with anxiety, life purpose questions, and coping with change.

She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is often useful for sleep problems, anger, and managing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care during relocations or while managing caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and conversation to work well through remote sessions, based on each person’s needs.
