About Lisa

Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 19 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and problems at work or home. She also helps with intimacy issues, parenting strain, self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue.

She sees strong links between what people think and what they do. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on attachment-focused work and client-centered methods to keep sessions straightforward and practical.

In a session she aims to map out the situation, notice typical reactions, and then test new ways of responding that fit daily life. She values clear steps over long explanations. People who prefer a direct, problem-solving rhythm tend to find this approach useful.

Her background includes long-term work with parents, people affected by addiction, survivors of abuse, and professionals facing burnout. Her LMFT credential indicates a specialization in marriage and family therapy practice in California.

She combines motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies alongside narrative and person-centered elements to support change. That mix lets her shift between brief skills work and deeper conversation depending on the issue. If someone wants to start, the next step is to use the site's matching flow to schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify automatic thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits that get in the way of daily life. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship problems.

The choice of which approach to use is collaborative. She will work with each person to figure out whether CBT skills, attachment work, or client-centered conversation fits their goals and preferences. That plan can shift as work progresses so sessions remain focused on what matters right now.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. People find that remote sessions let them practice new skills in the context of daily life while keeping the same practical, structured focus as in-person work.
