Lisa Peter

Lisa Peter is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship shifts, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those dealing with panic, low mood, or struggles with self-esteem. Lisa brings four years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LIMHP credentials.

She focuses on building practical skills that people can use between sessions. That often means working on clear communication, managing intense emotions, and reducing avoidance behaviors that keep problems stuck. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, so clients leave with concrete steps to try at home.

Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions to break unhelpful patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for regulating emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are used in ways that fit the person’s life and concerns.

She is attentive to issues tied to attachment and abandonment, and she supports people coping with workplace stress, body image, and obsessive thoughts. Lisa helps clients develop more self-compassion and practical routines that reduce anxiety and boost daily functioning.

Sessions are offered from her Texas practice and conducted in English. People interested in starting work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription model for session payments.

How CBT and DBT inform online therapy

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, then try small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT often involves short exercises and practical homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skills can be useful for managing intense reactions and improving how people interact with others during stressful transitions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to shape sessions around their goals, needs, and what feels most usable in daily life. Decisions about methods are revisited as progress is made.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy routine easier and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce travel time and let people practice skills in the contexts where challenges arise, while the therapist helps adapt tools to each person’s schedule and circumstances.
