About Lisa
Lisa Grady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years in mental health. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She draws on time working in substance use counseling and correctional settings to guide practical steps forward.
Early in her career she worked with incarcerated individuals and provided substance use counseling. She supported people with co-occurring disorders and ran group counseling sessions. That hands-on work shaped a direct approach to problem solving and skill building.
Later she provided services to an exclusive male population, helping them build coping skills and daily routines. She then shifted to community-based practice, offering individual sessions and continuing to lead groups. Group work remains part of how she helps people connect and practice new behaviors.
Her background includes work with competency restoration and people on probation and parole, which gave her familiarity with legal and system-related issues. She has also used trauma-informed care when supporting people affected by violence, military experiences, and other hard life events.
Lisa focuses on clear, usable tools rather than long explanations. Sessions emphasize learning and practicing skills for managing panic, intrusive thoughts, cravings, anger, or low mood. People who come to her can expect straightforward guidance, gentle coaching, and help planning next steps.
Approaches that focus on skills and recovery
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills. One common approach she uses teaches breathing and grounding skills to reduce panic symptoms and short-term anxiety spikes. These tools are easy to practice between sessions and help people feel more in control during high-anxiety moments.She also applies structured behavioral strategies to address addictive behaviors and mood problems. These methods focus on identifying triggers, building routines, and practicing alternative responses so cravings and low mood are easier to manage over time.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are expected as progress unfolds, and she will suggest techniques that match practical life demands.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Ask which formats are offered and how to schedule sessions around work, school, or family commitments. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy week and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed.
