Lisa Hughes

Lisa Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland. She brings seven years of experience offering individual therapy to adults, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. Lisa aims to listen closely and work with each person to clarify goals and take practical steps forward.

Her approach centers on treating each person as an individual with their own cultural background and needs. She uses client-centered methods to build a respectful working relationship and motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons for change. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies are used to develop concrete skills for managing symptoms and moving toward goals.

Lisa draws on many years working in mental health and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. That background informs how she supports people through grief, relationship strain, workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, isolation, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Lisa helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. She aims for collaboration rather than one-size-fits-all answers.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and availability, and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How client-centered and mindfulness approaches translate online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the person. Online sessions still prioritize that supportive relationship and aim to let people set goals and guide the work.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind. Together these approaches help with anxiety, stress, workplace overwhelm, and coping with life changes by offering short, practical exercises people can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan over time as progress is observed.

Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce commuting time, or allow for shorter check-ins during a work break. Others appreciate trying mindfulness exercises together on a call and then practicing them during the week. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered conversations and solution-focused planning to work well in remote sessions, while motivational interviewing can be used to build momentum for career or life changes.
