About Lisa
Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress from relationships, family life, parenting, work, or past trauma. Many people come because anxiety, grief, addiction, or questions about intimacy and identity are making everyday life harder.
She focuses on helping people notice normal emotional reactions and then change what comes next. Sessions begin with the situation you bring and practical steps you can try between meetings. Lisa offers straightforward feedback and helps people pick strategies that fit their life and responsibilities.
Her approach is largely client-centered, meaning the client guides the pace and tone. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at enduring patterns in relationships and cognitive-behavioral techniques to link thoughts and actions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing methods are woven in when helpful.
Lisa has worked with parents managing parenting stress, people affected by family problems or blended-family issues, and survivors of trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused. Lisa helps clients build on existing strengths, practice new ways of communicating, and develop clearer plans for managing conflict, anger, or grief. She asks clients to try ideas between sessions and then adjusts the plan as needed.
How sessions work
How Lisa's therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can focus on understanding those repeated dynamics and practicing new ways of connecting with partners or family members.Client-centered therapy centers on what you bring and your priorities. In remote meetings this means the conversation follows your agenda, with the therapist offering reflections and practical options you can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will work collaboratively to identify whether attachment ideas, CBT techniques, or mindfulness exercises best match your goals and day-to-day constraints. That choice can shift as needs change.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what is offered. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when schedules are tight.
