About Lisa
Lisa Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing heavy life challenges, including grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and caregiving stress. Lisa aims to help clients regain a sense of meaning, value, and hope as they move forward.
Her work often centers on practical steps people can take between sessions. She listens for patterns that keep a problem alive and offers techniques to shift those patterns. Sessions include talking through painful events, working on coping skills, and setting small goals that feel achievable.
Lisa draws from several therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help ground clients in the present when worry or intense emotion takes over. Narrative and Jungian ideas are used to examine personal stories and deeper themes that shape identity.
She has supported people through loss, addiction concerns, relationship strain, parenting stress, chronic illness, and major life transitions. Lisa describes her aim as restoring freedom, renewed value, and hope. She works with adults and older adolescents and encourages a collaborative pace based on each person’s needs.

Approaches for online grief and life-change work
Lisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood, making practical shifts that reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage strong feelings and ground the body when worry or grief feels overwhelming.She also draws on Narrative Therapy ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their losses. That work helps separate a person from a problem so they can rewrite how a difficult event fits into their life story. Choosing or combining approaches is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to find what matches their needs, goals, and preferences as the relationship develops.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn’t needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and grounding practices to an online setting so work continues between appointments.
