Elizabeth "Lisa" Burdick

Elizabeth "Lisa" Burdick uses a client-centered approach combined with cognitive behavioral ideas to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and career concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with two decades of experience. Lisa writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters to each person. Lisa tailors sessions to the individual. She brings mindfulness and solution-focused strategies when helpful. Motivational interviewing is available for people working on substance use or habit change. She says faith or spiritual beliefs can be part of the work when that matters to the client. Her background covers a wide range of concerns. She has supported people dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, postpartum and pregnancy-related issues, and multicultural concerns. Lisa has worked with young adults often, though she sees people at different ages. She also has experience with issues tied to veterans and armed forces, communication problems, codependency, and social anxiety. Her approach aims for practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. To begin, she recommends a simple conversation to match goals and expectations. Lisa emphasizes respectful, culturally aware care and aims to create a non-judgmental space for people to talk through what’s hard.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective, giving them space to lead the conversation while the therapist offers empathy and reflection. This helps with stress, relationships, and self-esteem by keeping sessions focused on what matters most to the client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going and test small changes to see what works. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and practical work-related issues.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help with stress, anger, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Session logistics vary by practice, and the biography does not list exact formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to work well in remote sessions while focusing on practical steps and daily routines.
