Lisa Maulding Anthony , LMHC

Lisa Maulding Anthony is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her manner is straightforward and calm, aiming to make difficult conversations easier to begin.

She works in partnership with each person to clarify what matters most and to set small, practical steps forward. Sessions focus on real-life changes - learning new ways to cope, handling painful memories, and rebuilding confidence. Hypnotherapy may be used as one tool alongside talk-based methods.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused work. That mix helps address patterns that keep people stuck as well as immediate symptoms like panic or low mood. The goal is to find what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Over 25 years she has supported people through loss, problems with relationships, struggles with substance use, and the long effects of abuse. She pays attention to patterns like codependency, avoidance, control issues, and shame when they show up in a person's story. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary with location and the subscription-based plan can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and chronic stress by shifting attention to meaningful action rather than symptom avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current reactions and intimacy. This approach is useful for people dealing with abandonment concerns, trust issues, codependency, or difficulties forming close bonds.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and daily challenges, then suggest techniques drawn from ACT, attachment work, cognitive behavioral methods, or hypnotherapy as appropriate. Together they adjust the plan based on what actually helps the client feel steadier and more able to cope.

Online therapy makes those options flexible and easier to fit into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed; live chat and text messaging offer quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These formats let people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel while using approaches that focus on behavior, thoughts, and relationship patterns.
