About Lisa
Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family concerns, grief, and life changes. She also addresses issues such as addiction, self-esteem, career worries, and compassion fatigue.
Her work pays particular attention to how early family experiences and attachment patterns shape current reactions. She helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings. That understanding becomes the starting point for practical change.
Sessions are centered on the person's goals. Lisa uses a client-centered stance so the person sets the pace and topics for therapy. She adds techniques from cognitive behavioral work to notice and shift thoughts that maintain difficult behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus in the moment. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, boundaries, and trust. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes, including around substance use or other habits.
Lisa often works with concerns tied to family of origin, blended family challenges, intimacy and kink-related questions, codependency, abandonment and commitment difficulties. She also supports people coping with chronic illness or pain and those carrying guilt, shame, or the aftermath of separation.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She offers a neutral perspective and helps people identify realistic next steps they can try between sessions. To begin, readers are invited to check the online therapy options and complete the matching questionnaire.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Lisa uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. This approach helps when someone wants to understand how early family roles affect current partnerships and reactions.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means the person leads the conversation and pace. That style supports people who need time to name what matters and decide which problems to tackle first.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT skills can be practiced between sessions to test what changes will stick.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan if needed.
