About Lisa
Lisa Connelly, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, depression, and addiction. She works with common life problems like parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career changes. She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and the fallout of separation or divorce.
She trained in psychology and counseling and has about 15 years of clinical experience. Much of her work has come in hospitals, treatment programs, group homes, outpatient clinics, and private practice. That range means she’s used to short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy for ongoing problems.
Her style is direct and caring. She helps people set clear goals and practices skills in session that can be used between visits. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation, and attachment-based methods to address relationship patterns.
Lisa emphasizes building trust so people feel safe talking about hard things. She helps clients break big problems into small, manageable steps. Sessions include practical exercises, communication skills, and tools for coping with strong emotions and cravings.
People looking for help with family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, chronic illness, or commitment and control issues may find her background relevant. She works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To start, confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it emphasizes doing meaningful things even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation and distress tolerance exercises.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing short check-ins that work around work or caregiving. It can also let people practice skills in day-to-day settings so progress transfers to normal routines. Ask about available formats when you start so scheduling matches your needs.
