About Lisa
Lisa Connelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and family.
Her work tends to be practical and straightforward. Lisa draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide conversations. Sessions typically focus on clarifying what matters to the client, learning skills for emotional regulation, and improving patterns of communication and boundaries.
She has worked in many settings over her career, including group homes, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, chemical dependency detox and residential treatment, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice. That variety informs how she responds to difficult emotions and life changes. Lisa is used to helping people after loss, separation, and major transitions.
In sessions she listens for patterns tied to attachment, abandonment concerns, and codependency. She also addresses practical problems like sleeping, eating, career stress, chronic illness, and caregiver strain. Clients often work on small behavior changes, communication strategies, and ways to manage strong feelings.
People who come for help with parenting, blended family issues, or conflict with a partner will find a focus on clear steps and real-life skills. Lisa supports clients in setting goals and tracking progress over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes that leave someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies for mood and sleep. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lisa will discuss options with the client and adjust methods based on the person's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. The plan can include skill practice, homework, and regular check-ins to measure progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use sessions to rehearse communication, practice behavioral experiments, or follow up on parenting strategies between visits.
