About Lisa
Lisa Calloway is an LCSW licensed in Illinois with 24 years of practice. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and address relationship and trauma-related concerns.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations rather than long explanations. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different ways to respond. Therapy is presented as a step-by-step process with concrete skills to practice between meetings.
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques. CBT provides tools to identify thought patterns and test new behaviors. Client-centered work means she listens closely to what matters most to the client and follows their pace.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Illinois across a range of mood and stress concerns. That experience informs how she helps people handle panic, depression, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses caregiver stress, workplace strains, and separation or divorce-related issues.
Sessions aim to improve everyday functioning. Conversations often cover communication skills, setting boundaries, and managing overwhelming emotions. Practical steps and short home practices are common parts of the work.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot patterns in thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT tools online often include brief exercises, structured thought records, and homework to practice new responses between meetings.Client-Centered Therapy is about listening carefully and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach focus on the client's concerns and pace, with the therapist adjusting questions and exercises to fit what the client wants to work on.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on the client's goals and day-to-day life. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.
