About Lisa

Lisa Franco is a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (LIMFT) who focuses on helping people regain a sense of control when life feels overwhelming. She listens to what matters to each person and centers therapy on their goals and vision. Lisa speaks plainly and offers steady guidance for everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, and mood changes.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, relationship strain, and depression. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can use between meetings. Lisa pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck and helps them test new behaviors in real life.

Her background includes four years of clinical experience working with adults facing issues such as body image, communication problems, money stress, and divorce or separation. She aims to create a space where people can name what’s hard and try small changes that add up over time. The LIMFT credential indicates licensure as an independent marriage and family therapist.

In therapy she supports work on self-esteem, guilt and shame, and life purpose. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and build coping steps for panic and anxiety. Lisa encourages a collaborative pace and adjusts the work to each person’s needs.

People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and logistics are arranged after the initial match.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus on current problems and teach practical skills. For example, cognitive approaches help people notice and challenge thoughts that feed anxiety and panic, teaching simple strategies to test those thoughts and reduce intense reactions. Trauma-informed methods focus on pacing and safety so people can process upsetting memories without becoming overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That collaborative process means adjustments over time - trying an approach for a few sessions and shifting if something else seems more helpful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep the focus on coping skills, panic management, and relationship work while making sessions easier to attend.
