Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Lee-Briggs uses practical, evidence-based methods to help clients address their concerns. Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Gestalt techniques emphasize present-moment awareness and the client-therapist dialogue to uncover patterns in relationships and improve emotional expression, making them helpful for intimacy, family communication, and self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home, and access support when balancing family, work, or other commitments, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in evidence-based care.
