About Lisa
Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self-esteem, and depression. Lisa keeps sessions practical and direct while staying warm and approachable, which helps people feel heard without getting lost in jargon.
She has experience in intensive outpatient settings and independent practice, so she understands what it’s like to be stuck in repetitive patterns.
Background and approach
That background informs how she plans therapy and sets realistic steps forward. She uses somatic work alongside talk-based methods to help people notice how emotions show up in the body and learn ways to respond differently. Lisa blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and DBT skills.
That mix supports changing unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and improving relationships with food and the body. Sessions aim to be conversational and grounded rather than a series of exercises to complete. She pays special attention to multicultural factors and identity-related stressors people bring into the room.
This means discussing how family expectations, cultural roles, and social pressures affect mood, eating, and self-image. The focus is on practical changes that fit a person’s life and values. Lisa works with young adults and adults who want clear tools for anxiety, OCD, phobias, trichotillomania, and eating-related struggles.
Her goal is to help clients move from feeling stuck to having workable strategies they can use every day.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Somatic Therapy helps people notice physical sensations tied to emotions and learn ways to settle the body. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with food and body image because it connects what someone feels in their body to what they do next.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgment. It creates a space where a person’s priorities and values guide sessions and helps build trust before moving into skills work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether somatic techniques, CBT skill-building, or a mix fits best. Goals, preferences, and daily life shape that decision so the plan feels realistic and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That range lets people choose the format that fits their schedule, comfort level, and energy on any given day. It also makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions by checking in with short messages or using chat when a full session isn’t possible.
