About Lisa

Lisa Connelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and parenting or family challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, sleep or eating problems, ADHD, and major life changes.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life. Lisa aims to build a trusting working relationship so clients can try new ways of coping.

Her background includes work across multiple care settings. That experience brought steady exposure to crisis care, outpatient treatment, and longer-term therapy. Over time she has helped individuals with mood disorders, trauma responses, and patterns like codependency and attachment struggles.

Clinically she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are used to manage symptoms and rebuild relationships, not to guarantee outcomes.

People who choose her can expect practical tools, emotion regulation strategies, and attention to how relationships shape behavior. She helps clients break large problems into manageable steps and track progress between sessions.

How her methods translate to online work

Lisa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people notice thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck on difficult feelings. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings so people can practice clearer thinking and new habits.

She treats finding the right method as a team effort. Early sessions focus on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she and the client try an approach and adjust it over time based on what helps most.

Check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as options can vary. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when life gets hectic. It can also let people try brief check-ins or longer weekly work depending on what fits their schedule. Licensed professionals work with clients to shape sessions so they match real-world routines and needs.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
