Lisa Haughey

Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience in mental health and substance dependency. She brings a warm, direct style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and career concerns.

She has extensive background in addiction and mental health settings and has supported people navigating life changes and reentry after incarceration. That experience informs a straightforward, no-stigma approach and an emphasis on building useful skills rather than labels.

Lisa blends practical, evidence-based methods with a person-centered manner. Sessions combine clear feedback with compassion so clients can both process feelings and try new behaviors. She aims to help people find tools and mindsets they can use outside of sessions.

Her approach is adaptable: she uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, cognitive techniques, and motivational interviewing to match each person's situation. She can be direct when needed and values honesty alongside sensitivity.

She is comfortable discussing faith and spirituality as part of care and supports clients exploring those areas. Lisa encourages clients who want change and works to make the first steps toward goals less overwhelming.

How her approaches guide online work

Lisa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and encourages practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods together over time. That means techniques can shift as someone makes progress or faces new challenges.

The biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when life is busy. Online work can make follow-up tasks, homework, and brief coaching between sessions easier to manage while supporting steady progress.
