Lisa Patton, LPC

Lisa Patton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with seven years of experience. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that affect mood, stress, and relationships. Her style is straightforward and warm to help people begin the hard work of change. She encourages small steps and honest conversations to make progress feel manageable.

Lisa helps people handle anxiety, stress, and depression by paying attention to how thoughts shape daily choices. She also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. Sessions look at patterns that drive anger, sleep disruption, isolation, or low self-esteem and explore practical ways to shift them.

Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring strategies to each person. She uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful space and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. This combination helps people try realistic changes between sessions.

Lisa has worked with people dealing with mood disorders, postpartum depression, panic, obsessive thinking, and the impact of adoption or foster care. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, infidelity, and coping with life transitions like divorce and separation.

She speaks English and practices in Alabama. If you feel nervous about starting, she acknowledges that first step and invites you to take it at a pace that feels doable.

How client-centered care and CBT translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and meeting each person where they are. In practice this means the therapist pays attention to what matters most to the client and follows their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and everyday habits influence emotions and behavior, and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. This collaborative process guides whether to focus more on reflective listening, practical CBT exercises, or a mix of both.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing a quicker check-in during a work break. It can also let people choose settings that help them concentrate, or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking to be sure they match your needs. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT methods to remote work so sessions still focus on thoughts, habits, and steps you can try between meetings.
