About Lisa

Lisa Stammerjohann is an LPC with 35 years of experience helping people navigate big life changes and everyday stresses. She brings a calm, compassionate presence to counseling and works with adults facing anxiety, low self-worth, career uncertainty, grief, and the strain of caregiving. Lisa draws on several approaches to help clients find clearer direction and better coping skills.

Her work often focuses on practical steps people can use right away. That can mean identifying small behavior changes, practicing acceptance of difficult feelings, or learning ways to communicate needs more clearly. She listens for each person’s values and goals and then helps shape a plan that fits their life.

Lisa has a long history of supporting adults through midlife transitions, aging concerns, and the stress that comes with caring for others. She also addresses addiction, sleep problems, intimacy-related worries, and relationship difficulties from an individual perspective. Her practice includes help for people processing trauma, abuse, and complicated grief.

Clients can expect an approach that blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused listening. Sessions emphasize insight paired with concrete tools to manage anxiety, anger, and low mood. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She practices in New Jersey and conducts therapy in English. If money or financial worries are a concern, Lisa includes them among the stressors she helps people work through and can integrate practical strategies into therapy.

How Lisa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns and improving mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and how they shape close connections, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and realistic about next steps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and fit more naturally into busy lives. It can shorten travel time, allow for quick check-ins during a break, and let people join sessions from a quieter spot when that helps focus. Many people find this flexibility makes it easier to maintain steady progress while balancing work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
