About Lisa

Lisa Lee-Briggs is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of practice. She offers calm, direct support for people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, mood difficulties, and life transitions. Lisa speaks English and French and works with adults who want clearer communication and more stability in daily life.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people find their own solutions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to express needs. Lisa often helps when worry, panic, or depression make it hard to connect or manage everyday tasks.

Her background includes extensive work with relationship and family problems, grief, addiction concerns, and eating and body image issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, impulsivity, and burnout from caregiving or professional stress. Lisa adapts techniques to match what each person needs rather than following a single method.

Lisa describes her overall approach as collaborative and tailored. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and then tries methods that help break those patterns. This can include skills for managing strong emotions, rebuilding communication, and setting realistic goals for change.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's calendar. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist scheduling.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in simple, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like persistent worry or panic. These techniques target patterns that keep stress and avoidance in place and teach concrete coping steps.

Gestalt-influenced methods help people notice what they are feeling and saying in the moment and try different ways of expressing needs. This can be useful when relationships feel stuck or when emotions get intense and communication breaks down.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on skill practice or quick problem-solving. Some formats may work better for brief check-ins while others suit longer conversations, so clarify session lengths and modes when you arrange appointments.
