About Lisa

Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship pain, grief, or changes at work and home. Lisa speaks plainly and helps people find steps they can actually use in daily life.

She has 19 years of clinical experience and has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, addiction, compassion fatigue, and family or parenting strains. Lisa also supports people exploring intimacy-related concerns, LGBT issues, and challenges tied to chronic illness or blended family dynamics.

In sessions she helps clients notice normal emotional reactions and then decide what comes next. Conversations aim to make choices clearer and more manageable. Expect practical, down-to-earth feedback and joint planning of realistic steps.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her while drawing on techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and motivational conversations. That mix lets Lisa adjust to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Many clients work on shifting unhelpful thoughts, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence after loss or hurt. Lisa helps people identify strengths they already have and build from those strengths toward healthier patterns.

To begin, clients are asked about what matters most to them so sessions can be focused on clear, achievable goals and steady progress.

How Lisa brings attachment and practical skills online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people connect now; it helps when trust, closeness, or fear of abandonment are getting in the way. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead so sessions focus on what the person cares about most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the link between thoughts and actions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the mix over time, and decisions about approach are made together so clients feel involved in planning their care.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections between sessions or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
