Lisa Patton , LPC

Lisa Patton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She focuses on making therapy straightforward and approachable for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, and relationship concerns. Lisa speaks plainly and works to create an environment where people feel they can talk without judgment.

With seven years of experience, she draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and shape sessions around each person’s needs. Lisa also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical steps that can change how they feel and act.

She often helps people navigate life changes such as divorce, adoption and foster care transitions, or the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Lisa also addresses mood concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, panic, obsessive thoughts, and problems with sleep and anger. Trauma, sexual assault, and grief work are also within her focus areas.

Sessions can cover communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation, and the challenges of new parenthood such as postpartum depression. She supports those dealing with self-esteem, self-love, social anxiety, and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse.

Lisa offers therapy in English and provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How client-centered care and CBT work online

Client-centered therapy begins by making space for a person to tell their story and feel heard. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them decide what to focus on next. This approach is useful for people coping with grief, relationship strain, or the stress of parenting.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, mood problems, and sleep difficulties because it sets clear steps the client can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist does together with each person. Lisa will listen to goals and preferences, suggest options, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the issue at hand and to how the person likes to work.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when video isn’t convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
