Lisa Haughey , LPC

Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience. She uses practical, person-focused methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Her style is warm and direct, giving clear guidance while respecting each person’s beliefs and goals.

Lisa draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of reacting. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small, purposeful steps. These tools are applied in short, doable practices rather than long lectures.

Her work covers many common struggles including stress, relationship problems, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career decisions. She also supports people facing bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse. LGBTQ concerns and questions about identity are part of her experience as well.

Clients can expect straight talk when it’s needed and gentle support when they’re unsure. Lisa avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on building skills that fit everyday life. She welcomes discussion of faith and spiritual paths and will include those values when they matter to the client.

With 34 years in addiction and mental health settings, she brings practical knowledge about reentry, recovery, and starting over after major life changes. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth counselor often find her approach useful.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Lisa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT focuses on changing thinking patterns and building new skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common approach she uses, which centers on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the work fits the client’s life and needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat can suit quick exchanges or check-ins during the day, and messaging is helpful for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work schedules, caregiving routines, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical change.
