Lisa Hrycushko, LPC

Lisa Hrycushko is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses clear, practical methods to help people manage stress and difficult emotions. She practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Lisa speaks plainly and focuses on real steps people can take right away.

She draws on eight years of professional experience working with adults on anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Lisa helps people who struggle with self-esteem, addictions, mood swings, sleep or eating issues, and the challenges of parenting and caregiving. She also addresses trauma, attachment and abandonment worries, and concerns common in blended families.

In sessions she works to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests new ways of coping. Mindfulness tools are used to bring attention to the body and calm racing thoughts. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress in simple steps.

Lisa pays attention to practical life problems such as work stress, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and bipolar mood concerns. Conversations emphasize skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Clients leave with concrete strategies, not just talk. Lisa aims to help people reclaim daily functioning and feel more confident handling life’s ups and downs.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so a person can try small experiments and see what changes.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals lead the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect while clients decide what matters most to focus on.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple awareness skills that calm the body and reduce reactivity. These tools can be practiced in short moments during a busy day to manage anxiety and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as progress happens.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier with lower bandwidth, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily life.
