About Lisa
Lisa Lee-Briggs is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of experience. She works with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, depression, addictions, grief, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and related areas. She offers services in English and French and practices from California.
In sessions she uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. She encourages clients to notice how patterns from their family of origin and past relationships shape current behavior. Work often focuses on communication, understanding roles people learned growing up, and reducing repeated conflict cycles.
Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods and Gestalt approaches. She adapts what she uses to the person and situation, choosing tools that fit the client's goals. Sessions may include role plays, skill practice, thought work, and reflections on family patterns.
Her background includes helping people with blended family issues, divorce and separation, codependency, control issues, grief, and coping with life changes. She also addresses ADHD, impulsivity, body image, and eating or food-related concerns when these connect to relationship and family dynamics.

Approach to evidence-based work and online sessions
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines that keep relationship problems repeating. This approach is useful for mood concerns, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and for shifting the patterns that affect intimacy and parenting.She also uses Gestalt methods that bring attention to present-moment experience and interactional patterns. These techniques often involve in-session role work and experiments to change how people communicate and respond to one another, which can reveal family of origin influences.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan based on progress and feedback.
