About Lisa
Lisa Warden is a licensed social worker with 16 years of clinical experience. She draws on a background that includes hands-on bodywork and an understanding of the mind-body connection. Lisa focuses on helping people move past trauma, addictions, and personality-related struggles so they can live with more ease and purpose.
She often sees symptoms that keep people stuck in survival mode. Lisa aims to help clients trade that constant strain for small, practical changes. She brings a warm, flexible style to sessions and sometimes uses humor to ease difficult conversations.
Her approach is collaborative and skills-focused. Lisa teaches tools people can use between sessions to manage anxiety, grief, or anger and to improve sleep, eating, and relationships. She also supports people navigating career shifts, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and life transitions.
Clients can expect straightforward talk and concrete strategies drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical skills, existential perspectives, and EMDR-informed techniques. Lisa pays attention to how the body and the mind interact and may incorporate that awareness into sessions.
She practices in Michigan and offers services in English. Lisa works with individuals on concerns including stress, depression, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and listening. It focuses on understanding a person's experience and helping them find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills are often useful when people feel overwhelmed or have trouble managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions so practical skills and EMDR-informed techniques can still be taught and practiced.
