Lisa Scott, LMSW

Lisa Scott is a licensed social worker with 32 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday habits that get in the way of living well. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to cope.

In sessions she works on thinking patterns, habits, and how feelings show up in daily life. Lisa uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and strengthen close relationships. She also addresses concerns like addiction, trauma, grief, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and career transitions.

Clients can expect a warm, listening stance that centers their goals. Lisa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and emotionally-focused methods to tailor work to each person. She helps people build practical skills for handling anxiety, impulses, and difficult emotions.

Her long practice includes helping caregivers, people facing prejudice or discrimination, and those navigating blended family or attachment-related concerns. She pays attention to how life stages and aging affect mood and roles.

Sessions are offered in English from Michigan. Lisa (LMSW) combines experience with straightforward tools to help people change habits, manage emotions, and move toward the life they want.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and making changes in daily habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small, practical changes to reduce symptoms like worry and compulsive behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people who want to improve how they relate to others by identifying and changing patterns in emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. This means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and more consistent check-ins when life gets hectic. Online work can make shorter or more frequent touchpoints possible and may reduce travel time. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the specific options available before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
