About Lisa

Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people who feel stuck, torn, or overwhelmed by parts of their lives. She focuses on practical steps so people can feel more confident managing hard situations at home, at work, or in relationships.

She brings 19 years of clinical experience in California to each session. Lisa often meets people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, or the strain of parenting. She also supports those facing burnout, compassion fatigue, and questions about intimacy and identity.

Lisa uses a person-centered stance so the client shapes the direction of therapy. She emphasizes strengths already present and helps build on them. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice how thoughts affect behavior and to try small, practical changes.

Attachment-based ideas and mindfulness are woven into sessions when they fit the person’s goals. She adapts methods to each person rather than applying a single set of steps. This means work in therapy is tailored to what will be realistic for everyday life.

People who reach out can expect a straightforward, calm approach and help naming next steps. Lisa describes her role as offering a neutral view on difficult situations and partnering with clients to find workable solutions. If you want clear, steady support while you practice different ways of handling stress and relationships, she can help you take that next step.

How mindfulness and attachment ideas come alive online

Lisa often draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice emotions and physical reactions in simple, moment-to-moment ways. These techniques can help when anxiety, chronic pain, or overwhelming stress make it hard to think clearly.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. That work can be useful for people dealing with trust, intimacy, or repeated conflict. A client-centered approach keeps the person’s priorities front and center so sessions focus on what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on how helpful things feel in practice.

Confirm the therapist's available session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, and let people work from quieter surroundings when that helps. The therapist will help match session style and tools to the client's needs and daily routine.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
