About Lisa
Lisa Connelly is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and parenting strains. Lisa also works with issues around sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and ADHD.
She trained in counseling at the master’s level and has worked across many settings. Those include therapeutic group homes, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, chemical dependency detox and residential treatment, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice. That range informs a practical focus with people at different stages of life.
Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based action when emotions feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based methods and client-centered skills guide conversations about relationships and belonging.
Sessions tend to be structured and goal-oriented. Lisa helps people set clear goals, practice specific skills between meetings, and notice small changes over time. She uses strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or interpersonal effectiveness is needed.
Her background includes work with trauma, couples, and addiction settings, which shapes how she assesses risk and plans treatment. People can expect straightforward feedback, practical exercises, and a focus on steps that fit everyday life.
How Lisa uses CBT, ACT, and attachment work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It is used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress by breaking problems into specific thoughts and behaviors to change.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. This approach can help when emotions feel overpowering or when someone wants clearer direction during life changes.
Attachment-Based work centers on how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. It is useful for intimacy issues, relationship communication, and attachment-related concerns by helping people notice and shift interaction habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time based on how the client responds.
