About Lisa
Lisa Raley is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with 16 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and life transitions. She also works with concerns like trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and money and financial issues. Her approach is practical and strength-focused. She helps clients build skills to feel steadier day to day.
She describes therapy as holistic. That means she looks at physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social areas together. If one area feels off, other parts of life often follow. Lisa helps people notice which areas need attention and then practices simple steps to rebalance them.
Sessions emphasize clear tools and real-life habits. Techniques may include mindfulness, behavior-focused exercises, and skills for managing emotions and relationships. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and the Gottman Method when they fit a person's goals.
Lisa also supports those facing caregiver stress, midlife questions, aging concerns, and challenges tied to family of origin, divorce, or abandonment. She addresses work and career strain as well as intimacy and parenting issues. The tone in sessions is steady and goal-oriented, with attention to daily routines that shape mood.
Clients who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and services are offered in English in Alabama.
How therapy approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, panic, or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that help with intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often combine techniques so the plan fits real-life challenges rather than a single named model.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simple to practice skills between meetings and bring real situations from everyday life into session for hands-on work.
