Dr. Lisa Page , LCPC

Dr. Lisa Page is an Illinois-licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She centers care on clear goals and practical steps so people can see progress. She is direct when needed and aims to create an individualized experience for each person.

Her background includes a doctorate from the Colorado School of Professional Psychology and a decade as an adjunct professor at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, sleep problems, and body image issues. Her practice also addresses caregiving strain, chronic illness, grief, and career questions.

Dr. Page uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people move past resistance and reach their goals. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused conversations support short-term progress and coping skills.

Her work often touches on women’s issues such as body image and balancing life demands, and she brings that lens into goal planning when it fits a person’s concerns. She describes herself as empathetic but straightforward, helping people take manageable steps toward healthier routines and recovery from substance use.

Outside clinical work she co-authored an audiobook on burnout, and she supports social justice efforts locally. People who want a practical, goal-oriented therapist who uses evidence-based techniques may find her style a good fit.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Dr. Page commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many daily habits because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions in clear ways. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to help people move past resistance and take the first steps toward change; it focuses on a person’s own values and readiness to act.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. She collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps set practical, measurable steps people can try between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can fit into a break or use less bandwidth, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging works for ongoing prompts or short updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on the goals you set together.
