Lisa Haughey

Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience. She offers direct, down-to-earth counseling aimed at helping people face hard problems and learn new skills. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she balances compassion with straightforward feedback.

She has worked in addiction and mental health settings and with life coaching concerns. That breadth means she is used to helping people with depression, anxiety, addiction, career decisions, relationship struggles, parenting questions, and grief. She also has experience supporting people who are restarting their lives after involvement with the criminal justice system.

Her style centers on respect and sensitivity. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps clients can take. She aims to help clients build tools and a mindset they can use outside sessions, and she will be direct when clarity is needed.

Lisa also recognizes the role spirituality and faith can play in a person’s healing. She is comfortable working with people who are exploring or practicing their own beliefs and will include that perspective when it matters to the client.

Many people come for help with stress, trauma, addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Lisa draws on established approaches to guide conversations and create plans that fit each person’s situation. She encourages the courage it takes to ask for help and supports clients through that work.

How therapeutic approaches guide online counseling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are strong. It is often used for anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing simple changes to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, respectful relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaboration helps decide whether ACT, CBT, client-centered methods, or a mix will be most useful for the concern at hand.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online counseling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, or allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care when they move or travel. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools to the online setting so sessions stay practical and focused on real problems and goals.
