About Lisa
Lisa Guerra is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with seven years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns, and related struggles such as grief, trauma, and self-esteem. She speaks English and works with adults who bring concerns tied to home life and caregiving roles.
Lisa uses straightforward methods in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are the focus, and Trauma-Focused and Narrative approaches when past events and personal stories are central.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Lisa helps people name what is most pressing, try different ways of responding, and track what changes over time. She has experience with matters that overlap parenting and family life, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and divorce or separation.
Her background includes work as a paramedic for 20 years, which informs her understanding of first responder stress and compassion fatigue. That experience shapes how she notices crisis warning signs and talks about safety planning when needed.
People who come for help often want concrete steps to manage anxiety, cope with life changes, or repair communication at home. Lisa asks about daily routines, relationships, and realistic goals. From there she and the client try practical tools and check progress together.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors that affect life at home.She also applies the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are central. That approach focuses on specific skills for managing conflict and rebuilding routines between partners. Narrative Therapy is used at times to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their past, which can reduce shame and open new choices.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most practical, then try methods that fit. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what helps and what does not.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow simpler check-ins during a lunch break, and reduce travel time. If a less visual check-in is needed, therapists can often adapt the meeting style to shorter calls or audio-only exchanges depending on what is arranged. Lisa will go over scheduling, format, and how sessions will be structured when you begin.
