Lissa Elliott St.Clair , LPC

Lissa Elliott St.Clair is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a client-centered approach to help people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. She speaks plainly and listens first so clients can feel heard. Her work often focuses on life transitions, parenting challenges, grief, and burnout from caregiving or work-related compassion fatigue.

She blends practical skills with reflection. That can mean learning simple coping tools for panic or mood swings, practicing mindfulness to reduce overwhelm, or using solution-focused steps to untangle a tough decision. Sessions aim to be collaborative and down to earth. The tone tends to be hopeful and action-oriented.

With nine years of experience, she draws on multiple approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy can be used for intense emotions and building better emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm and present-moment awareness.

Lissa works with concerns tied to trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, bipolar and other mood disorders, panic, and seasonal affective disorder. She also addresses relational issues like communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or jealousy.

She provides online sessions in Pennsylvania and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical next steps, self-compassion, and steady progress.

Approaches and online care that meet you where you are

Client-centered work means sessions begin with the person and their goals, with the therapist listening closely and adapting to what feels most helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood and replacing them with more useful habits, which can be helpful for panic, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work consistently.
