About Lisa
Lisa Bicket is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of practice experience. She lists stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD among the areas she addresses. Lisa works with adults who need practical, direct help with everyday emotional struggles and major life changes.
Her style is grounded and person-focused. She uses clear, goal-oriented methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include concrete strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning rather than abstract talk alone.
Lisa combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. That means she helps people notice thought patterns, practice new responses, and build small routines that support better mood and focus. She may also use motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set realistic steps toward change.
In session she listens for what is working and what is not, then suggests actions to try between meetings. Typical topics include coping with stress, improving sleep, handling anger, managing bipolar mood shifts, and navigating parenting challenges. She also addresses issues related to attachment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family of origin problems.
Her work is practical and structured, with attention to immediate concerns and gradual skill-building. People who prefer clear tools and steady progress tend to find this approach useful. Those interested in starting are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems going and to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions typically include clear goals, homework exercises, and step-by-step skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep, or anger.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the person’s experience and pace. That approach focuses on listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most to the client. Mindfulness therapy is used to build awareness of moment-to-moment experience and to reduce reactivity through simple attention practices and breathing exercises.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Adjustments are common; techniques are evaluated by how they fit the client’s day-to-day life and goals.
