Lisa Taylor

Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with ten years of clinical experience. She works in a straightforward, warm way and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Lisa helps with anxiety, stress, eating and body-image concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She draws on client-centered methods that keep conversations grounded in what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are tools she uses to break unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Somatic approaches are also part of her toolkit when bodily experience and regulation matter. Lisa has worked in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs as well as private practice. That range gives her experience with both structured treatment plans and more open-ended work. She often supports young adults navigating identity, family expectations, and cultural concerns. Sessions aim to feel like a real conversation rather than a clinical checklist. Lisa is collaborative and direct, helping people spot patterns that keep them stuck and try different responses. She balances challenge with empathy and looks for small changes that add up over time. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and Lisa acknowledges that. Her goal is to help people feel supported, taken seriously, and able to try new ways of coping. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How Lisa’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions follow what feels most relevant to the client and the therapist listens closely before suggesting changes. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort priorities and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests practical alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many eating and body-image concerns because it encourages small experiments and tracking what helps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating intense emotion and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when anxiety or compulsions feel overwhelming and when people need concrete tools for distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Plans can change as progress is made or as new needs appear.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that the practical focus of CBT and DBT translates well to remote sessions because tools, worksheets, and skill practice can be done between meetings.
