About Lisa
Lisa Adler is a Licensed Professional Counselor with mental health designation (LPC-MH) practicing in South Dakota. She brings 26 years of clinical experience working with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and other life challenges.
Lisa frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where she offers honest feedback and practical, evidence-based strategies. Sessions focus on concrete steps and coping skills rather than long theory discussions.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also helps people facing ADHD, bipolar disorder, and the emotional strain of caregiving, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family dynamics.
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. She aims to help clients manage upsetting emotions, improve communication, and make realistic behavior changes that fit daily life. Progress is tracked through clear goals and practical homework when appropriate.
Messages are usually checked several times a day and she responds as soon as she can, though replies may take longer when she is attending to other responsibilities. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are offered.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many evidence-based approaches use practical exercises and focused conversation. Cognitive-style methods help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. These are useful for anxiety, depression, and self-critical thoughts. Behavioral techniques focus on small, doable changes in routines and habits to improve sleep, eating, activity, or mood.Therapy often combines these approaches. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new concerns appear.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be run. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to use online sessions to practice skills between meetings while keeping therapy manageable alongside parenting and work obligations.
