Lisa Adair, LMHC

Lisa Adair is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Lisa aims to meet clients where they are and support steps toward clearer days ahead.

She works from the belief that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions emphasize building on those strengths while addressing immediate problems like sleep troubles, panic, or low self-esteem. Lisa also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people find meaning and direction when facing uncertainty or identity questions. These methods are used in straightforward, actionable ways during sessions.

Lisa has experience with concerns related to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and domestic violence. She also helps with issues such as body image, social anxiety, and relationship or communication problems. Work often includes short practical skills, clearer problem definitions, and planning doable next steps.

People who want a collaborative, plainspoken therapist may find her style useful. She aims to empower clients to try new approaches between sessions and to notice tangible changes over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In a few sessions she often teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic, sleep troubles, and mood shifts.

She also uses Existential Therapy to address questions about meaning, values, and direction when life changes feel disruptive. That work often centers on clarifying what matters most and making choices that reflect personal values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then tailor techniques from CBT or existential methods to fit each person. The process is collaborative and adaptable over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill demonstrations, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging lets people check in between meetings or do shorter check-ins during a busy day. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
