Lisa Lee-Briggs , LMFT

Lisa Lee-Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people navigate relationship and women's issues. She works with adults on topics like intimacy, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, and mood concerns. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to move forward.

With 13 years of experience in California, Lisa adapts sessions to each person's needs. She listens for patterns that cause repeated conflict and then helps clients practice different ways of communicating. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, so change feels real and usable.

She often addresses family of origin issues, blended family concerns, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. She also helps people with body image, eating and food-related difficulties, codependency, and impulsivity. Lisa includes attention to mood disorders like bipolar symptoms and disruptive mood dysregulation in her work when relevant.

Lisa speaks English and French and combines straightforward conversation with hands-on problem solving. She emphasizes replacing blame with understanding, and she helps clients try new behaviors in session. The aim is clearer choices, better boundaries, and less reactivity.

People who choose Lisa can expect a collaborative plan that reflects their goals. She supports practical steps toward healthier relationships, improved self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility

Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavior techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying alternative behaviors to reduce distress and improve relationships. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, eating issues, and impulsive patterns.

She also draws on experiential methods that emphasize present-moment awareness in sessions and practicing communication in real time. These techniques are useful when people want to change how they relate and respond in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. This makes therapy a collaborative process tailored to each person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life routines.
