About Lisa
Lisa Peter is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She works with clients who are dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, workplace issues, or panic attacks. Lisa aims to make therapy practical and straightforward for people who feel overwhelmed.
She focuses on building self-compassion and clearer communication. Sessions often include steps to manage intense emotions and daily stressors. Lisa uses tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and learn new coping skills.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She sits with clients as they name what matters and then creates small, manageable goals to move forward. Lisa pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment worry, and problems with control that often show up in relationships.
Over time she supports people in repairing how they relate to themselves and others. That work can involve addressing body image, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, and patterns of isolation or avoidance. Lisa also helps people navigate divorce or separation and the emotional ripple effects at work.
Lisa holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and the LIMHP credential, Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner. She practices in Texas and brings four years of experience to her work.
How CBT and DBT Shape Online Work and Wellbeing
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small goals, trying new behaviors, and tracking progress to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. DBT skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication problems cause repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which tools fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made.
