About Lisa
Lisa Fix is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with 33 years of experience. She came to counseling because of a lifelong pull toward helping others, and she has personal experience with therapy herself. Lisa aims to make the first step feel doable for people who are anxious about reaching out.
Her background includes work in community mental health, a hospital-based eating disorders program, and a university counseling center. She draws on several approaches to tailor counseling to each person's needs. Lisa invites questions so people can make informed choices about how to proceed.
Her style is relaxed and personal. She listens closely, offers direct feedback when appropriate, and moves at a pace each person can handle. She emphasizes being caring and non-judgmental while also challenging unhelpful patterns when clients are ready.
Lisa helps people address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, depression, grief, eating and body-image issues, relationship and communication problems, and coping with life changes. She also supports work on mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions, ADHD, and stress-related problems.
Outside of work she enjoys exercise, gardening, coffee, chocolate, and time with her companion animals. She encourages people to interview a therapist to see if the fit feels right and welcomes questions before scheduling.
How her approaches can work well online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgmental relationship. It helps when someone needs time to feel heard and to name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety or panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when stress feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to use and how quickly to move forward.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and let people meet from a quieter spot or while on a break. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice between meetings and tailor sessions to fit daily routines rather than requiring long in-person visits.
