About Lisa
Lisa Grady is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and depression. She has 15 years of experience in mental health and focuses on practical skills people can use day to day. Lisa listens and helps clients name problems and try workable steps forward.
She began her career in substance use counseling and worked with people in incarceration settings. That work included support for women with co-occurring disorders and later focused on men in controlled environments.
Background and approach
She also led group counseling and individual sessions as part of that work. Over time Lisa shifted into community-based care, bringing lessons from correctional settings into local services. She has experience with competency restoration, probation and parole-related issues, and the legal aspects that can affect treatment plans.
This background shapes how she helps clients navigate practical barriers. Her practice includes trauma-informed approaches and work with military-connected people, and she has provided services to individuals in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system. She aims to help people build skills for coping, communication, and relapse prevention when substance use is involved.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes. Lisa emphasizes skill-building, group work when helpful, and straightforward conversation about next steps. People who want direct guidance and practical tools often find this approach useful.
How evidence-based methods fit into online care
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and problem solving. One common approach focuses on teaching coping and stress-management skills to reduce anxiety and manage anger. These techniques help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses in daily life.Another approach emphasizes relapse prevention and skill-building for substance use issues. This work centers on identifying triggers, building supports, and practicing steps to stay on track after setbacks. That approach is useful for people dealing with addictions and co-occurring challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on progress and preferences. Clients are invited to share what works best for them and to shape the plan together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these evidence-based methods to remote sessions, helping clients build skills and handle everyday challenges without promising a specific outcome.
