About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a licensed social worker with 32 years of experience supporting people through stressful and painful life moments. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, anger, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy questions. Lisa’s approach is warm and straightforward so people can talk honestly about what’s hardest for them.
Her work focuses on real-life problems like parenting stress, career transitions, grief, trauma and abuse, and the strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing social anxiety, obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors, and the ups and downs of attachment and abandonment worries. She pays attention to how identity and experiences of prejudice shape a person’s life. Lisa blends several therapy methods to match each person’s needs.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns in close relationships and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and to create a respectful, person-led space.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She practices in Michigan as an MI LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time.
People who want to start can tap the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Lisa collaborates with clients to set clear goals and build practical skills for coping and growth.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior; it can help people understand and shift responses that keep them stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and using mindfulness and committed action to move toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the person's lead to build insight and self-trust.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy fits the client's life and aims.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts between sessions or choose a less formal way to communicate. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
