About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Hammons helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming. Dr. Hammons is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience and practices in Mississippi.

She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that affect mood and day-to-day functioning. In sessions she listens to what matters most and gently points out patterns that keep problems going. The work often includes noticing unhelpful thinking, trying small changes, and tracking what helps over time.

Dr. Hammons aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say difficult things and test new ways of coping. She encourages practical steps clients can use between meetings, and she supports steady progress rather than quick fixes. Many clients find relief by shifting routine habits and thinking little by little.

Her background includes a Master of Science and licensure as an LPC. She draws on 14 years working with adults facing emotional strain, caregiving stress, aging concerns, body image and eating issues, and the aftermath of separation or loss. She also addresses family problems, communication struggles, guilt and shame.

People who want straightforward conversation about thoughts and habits may find her approach useful. If you want clear options and doable steps, Dr. Hammons can help you explore what might work next.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Dr. Hammons emphasizes approaches that focus on how thoughts and everyday habits affect feelings. One common technique helps people notice and name unhelpful thinking patterns, then test small alternative thoughts to reduce anxiety or low mood. This process is practical and works well when clients want clear steps to try between sessions.

Another approach centers on changing daily routines and habits that reinforce stress or depression. Sessions look at what a typical day feels like, identify small shifts to try, and track whether those shifts improve energy or relationships. That method suits people who prefer concrete experiments over long discussion.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor work to each person's goals and comfort. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and how to adapt them over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people keep a consistent schedule while balancing caregiving, work, or other commitments.
