Lisa Williams, LPCC, LPC

Lisa Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver and brings 25 years of practice in a range of clinical settings.

She helps people manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, and addiction. Common topics include sleep problems, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and intimacy or relationship struggles.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy when those fit a person’s needs. She also draws on Solution-Focused and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach skills people can use right away.

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and on building clear, manageable steps toward goals. Sometimes the work is about changing thoughts and behaviors. Other times it’s about accepting hard realities and finding ways to live values-based lives.

Lisa aims to create a steady, supportive space where people can talk through tough moments and try new strategies. She works with each person to tailor the pace and techniques to their circumstances and goals.

How these approaches work online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, practicing skills between sessions, and using structured exercises to track progress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take action toward what matters most. ACT online can use values-based exercises and short practices that fit into daily life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; in remote sessions this often means creating space to talk and reflect while the therapist mirrors understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and comfort level. That collaboration can include mixing techniques so the plan fits how the person prefers to work and what they want to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for a full, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, skills practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions, making it simpler to weave therapy into a busy life.
