Lisa Grady, LPC

Lisa Grady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She helps people who feel stuck by listening, teaching coping skills, and working step by step toward clearer choices.

She has a long history in substance use counseling and experience working with people who were incarcerated. That background includes helping women with co-occurring disorders and later working with men to build practical life skills. She has also supported people involved with competency restoration, probation, and parole, which gave her familiarity with legal processes that often touch clients' lives.

Lisa uses individual sessions and group counseling as part of her work. In sessions she focuses on concrete skills - managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive behavior. She also addresses patterns like codependency, attachment concerns, and problems that come with blended family situations.

She has worked with trauma-informed care and with military-connected clients, and she has experience inside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) system. Clients often come with complicated, overlapping issues, and she aims to help people sort those out in realistic, doable steps.

Her approach emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. She guides people to practice new skills between sessions and to build routines that make daily life feel more manageable. The first step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. One common approach is skills-based work to manage strong emotions and impulsivity; this teaches strategies you can use during stressful moments and helps reduce reactive behaviors. Another common thread is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to past harms and how they affect current thoughts and relationships, and helps people move forward at a pace that feels safe.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, concerns, and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Because the source biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter check-in when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep up ongoing work between appointments and to practice skills learned in sessions during everyday life.
