About Lisa

Lisa Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related issues that affect daily life. Lisa helps people who are coping with major life changes, parenting strain, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She listens to what is happening now and helps people break larger problems into manageable steps. Sessions include talking through recent events, identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going, and trying small behavioral changes to test what helps.

Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their personal stories and Mindfulness Therapy to build simple attention and stress-management skills. These approaches are used in a way that fits what each person brings to the room.

People often seek her help for grief, trauma, sexual and intimacy concerns, addiction and pornography issues, or when they feel overwhelmed by work or family expectations. She has particular experience supporting those who feel stuck after loss or betrayal and those facing burnout or compassion fatigue.

Over time Lisa aims to restore a sense of meaning and value in daily life. She works with adults at different stages, from young adults to older adults, using clear goals and concrete steps to move forward.

How Lisa applies therapy approaches online

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. CBT is practical work aimed at testing small changes to see what helps in daily life.

She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That can be useful after loss, betrayal, or major life change when past patterns keep repeating. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention and stress management skills, with short practices that can be done between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. Clients and the therapist review what is working and change course if needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which remote formats are supported. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in sessions when life is busy. It can also let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or choose a camera session for deeper conversational work. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to fit everyday routines and responsibilities without promising any specific result.
