About Lisa
Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on helping people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and money or financial issues that are weighing on them. She works with people facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, and burnout. Lisa aims to help clients feel more capable of handling difficult situations at home, work, and in relationships.
She approaches therapy in a straightforward, person-centered way that lets each person lead the pace and topics. Lisa helps people notice their usual reactions, and then looks at what comes next so change can happen. She uses tools that build on strengths and practical strategies people can try between sessions.
Her work draws on attachment-based thinking to look at connection patterns, cognitive behavioral ideas that link thoughts and behavior, and mindfulness practices to bring more calm and focus to daily life. Motivational interviewing is used when people want support making a change but feel unsure how to start.
With 19 years of clinical experience, Lisa has supported people through trauma and abuse, family of origin issues, codependency, commitment struggles, blended family challenges, and intimacy-related concerns including kink and alternative sex culture. She also addresses chronic pain, illness, and disability when these affect mood and functioning.
Lisa emphasizes practical, realistic solutions that fit each person’s life. She helps clients set achievable steps, test what works, and adjust plans over time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist’s availability.
How Lisa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and respond to stress. It is often helpful for relationship worries, attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and patterns that repeat across different partnerships.Client-centered therapy means the person sets the pace and topics in sessions, while the therapist listens, reflects, and follows what matters most. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on the link between thoughts and actions and provide practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns; these tools are useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques based on what helps and what feels realistic for the client.
Because session formats are listed by the therapist, confirm the current online options before booking.
