About Lisa
Lisa Bicket is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and family matters. She works directly with clients who are facing life transitions, relationship struggles, sleep problems, or questions about self-esteem and coping skills.
Her approach is client-centered and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable strategies. She combines elements of cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to address daily problems and longer-standing patterns.
People often come to her when patterns from their family of origin still affect current relationships. She helps people notice repeating roles and expectations that cause frustration. Conversations look at how early family dynamics show up now and what can be changed in the present.
In sessions she guides skill-building around communication, emotional regulation, and problem solving. That might include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new interaction styles, or using grounding and mindfulness exercises to reduce stress. Work is paced to what the person can try between sessions.
She also supports clients dealing with grief, trauma and abuse histories, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and issues like ADHD or bipolar symptoms as they affect daily life. Her practice aims to turn small changes into clearer choices about relationships, work, and self-care.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places attention on the person's goals and experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, asks about priorities, and adjusts what they try together based on the client's feedback. It helps when someone wants a collaborative, goal-focused conversation about family patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress tied to relationship patterns. CBT work online can include homework, thought records, and short behavioral experiments between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques are useful for emotional regulation, managing anger, and coping with grief or caregiving strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
