About Lisa

Lisa Guerra, LPC helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship strain. She practices in Texas and focuses on everyday problems like parenting challenges, work stress, caregiving, and navigating big life changes.

Background and approach

Her approach aims to help clients move forward with purpose and practical steps. She uses straightforward methods to break down thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, guides conversations about thinking patterns and small behavior changes. The Gottman Method is part of her work to help people improve communication and reduce conflict in close relationships.

Lisa draws on seven years of counseling experience and a background that includes two decades as a paramedic. That earlier work informs her understanding of stress and first responder issues.

She brings calm, clear guidance and practical tools to sessions. Sessions often focus on skills you can use right away: communication techniques, coping strategies, and ways to manage overwhelming feelings.

She also works with topics like ADHD, codependency, attachment issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and aging and geriatric issues. Her style is direct but warm.

She helps people set realistic goals and takes a step-by-step approach to change. If a client wants to try different methods, she adapts the work to match their needs and pace.

How these approaches work online

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting, which can suit issues like anxiety, depression, and work stress.

The Gottman Method is used to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict in close relationships. In online sessions this can mean focused conversations, learning specific communication skills, and practicing new interaction patterns with guidance between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools feel most helpful and when to switch directions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging lets clients share updates between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
