About Lisa

Lisa Peter, LCSW, LIMHP, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and mood challenges. She focuses on practical steps to ease daily struggles and on building self-compassion. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at people who want clear tools and steady support.

She uses approaches that break problems into manageable parts. That can mean working on thoughts and everyday habits, practicing new ways to communicate, or learning techniques to reduce panic and anxiety. Sessions emphasize small, doable changes that add up over time.

How CBT and DBT Translate to Online Work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing everyday habits that keep problems going. It often involves tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It includes practices for managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and using mindfulness to stay grounded during stress. DBT skills can be useful for mood swings, panic, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they’ll try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as arranging shorter check-ins, reducing travel time, or scheduling around work hours. It can also allow steady access to skill practice and written exercises that support progress between meetings.
