About Lisa

Lisa Warden is a licensed social worker with 16 years of clinical experience. She draws on a background that includes hands-on bodywork to notice how physical experience and emotion connect. Lisa aims to make reaching out feel easier by offering a warm, flexible approach and a bit of humor when it helps.

She has spent much of her career helping people recovering from trauma, addiction, and personality-related struggles. Lisa focuses on reducing symptoms that keep someone stuck in survival mode so they can move toward a fuller life. Depression is one of the concerns she lists among the many areas she addresses.

In sessions she meets people where they are and works at a steady, realistic pace. Lisa combines talking through difficult memories with practical skills for handling stress, cravings, intense emotion, and relationship strain. She pays attention to how the body responds and uses that awareness in therapy.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She offers encouragement and specific tools clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and test new ways of coping. Progress is framed as small, consistent steps rather than sudden fixes.

Lisa is based in Michigan and provides services in English. She describes herself as someone who gets energized when clients move from surviving toward enjoying life again, and she looks forward to supporting that journey.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, helping them feel heard and understood. It is useful for building confidence and exploring what matters most in life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete skills to shift unhelpful routines. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing stress day to day.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be helpful when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are highly conflictual.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, shorten travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the specific options offered before booking. A short online session can be a quick skills check, while a longer appointment lets the therapist work through deeper material.
