Lisa Briggs

Lisa Briggs is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, including hospice and end-of-life counseling. Lisa approaches care with warmth and respect for each person's story. She believes people bring strengths to the work and supports them in taking steps toward change.

In sessions she centers the person's perspective and listens first to understand what matters most. She combines client-centered conversation with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify patterns of thought and behavior. Solution-focused methods are used to map small, achievable steps toward clearer goals.

Lisa aims to make sessions feel doable. She helps people name what feels wrong and then breaks progress into manageable actions. This can include trying new coping habits, reframing unhelpful thoughts, or planning realistic problem-solving steps.

Her work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She offers encouragement and straightforward feedback while respecting how slowly or quickly someone wants to move. For people facing the emotions of loss or end-of-life concerns, she brings steady attention to grief alongside practical planning and coping.

Anyone considering counseling is invited to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. Scheduling follows the therapist’s availability and the site’s process for booking sessions.

How these approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what the person says is most important, which helps when talking through grief or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small steps and practical goals. It helps identify what is already working and builds quick, achievable changes to move forward.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and pick methods together. This lets sessions stay practical and tailored rather than fixed or one-size-fits-all.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the original biography does not list formats. Ask about the current options to see what fits your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel needs, or options that avoid being on camera when that feels better. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while managing daily responsibilities.
