About Lisa
Lisa Connelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, family issues, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward, practical way. Lisa uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Conversations focus on current patterns, how early family roles shape reactions, and concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits.
In the room she emphasizes clear goals and specific skills. That can mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, practicing different ways to communicate, or testing short experiments between sessions. She asks direct questions and offers simple exercises to try during the week.
Her background includes work in group homes, inpatient psychiatric settings, chemical dependency treatment, outpatient clinics, and private practice. Those settings exposed her to a wide range of concerns across age groups and life stages.
When family of origin patterns are the focus, she helps people name the roles they grew up with and how those roles affect later relationships. The work mixes talking, behavioral practice, and emotion regulation skills so people can make manageable changes in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and then clarify values to guide practical steps. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people recognize and change repeating roles. This work can help when family of origin patterns shape reactions in adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift each part. CBT is often used for mood, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, attachment work, CBT, or DBT skills depending on what helps in practice.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist when you sign up to confirm session options and figure out how sessions can fit your schedule.
