About Lisa

Lisa Peter is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical steps that make everyday life easier. Many come to her for help with panic attacks, mood shifts, or low self-esteem.

She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. Lisa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of coping. Conversations often include skill-building for emotion regulation and clearer communication with others.

Her work centers on building self-compassion and stronger coping habits. She encourages small, steady changes people can use at home and at work. This often means rehearsing new responses to stress and tracking progress between sessions.

Lisa draws on four years of clinical experience as a licensed clinician in Texas and Nebraska. She brings a calm, respectful manner and focuses on what will help each person move forward. People who want concrete strategies and a collaborative approach tend to find her style useful.

Her background includes supporting people through attachment issues, trauma and abuse, workplace challenges, and relationship transitions like separation or divorce. She also addresses obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, and problems with body image or impulse control. Lisa helps clients shape personalized plans to manage symptoms and reach their goals.

Using CBT and DBT Skills in Online Work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps people with anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood problems by teaching ways to shift thinking and behavior.

DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers concrete techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication when feeling overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Treatments may be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy helps fit appointments around work, school, and family life. It can make it easier to keep regular sessions, use shorter check-ins when needed, and practice new skills in day-to-day settings without extra travel.
