About Lisa
Lisa Zwagerman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who combines her background in mental health counseling, career counseling, and life coaching to help people facing change. She frames sessions as a partnership and brings a warm, understanding presence to conversations about life stressors. She values practical steps and honest talk, and she encourages people to reach out when they feel stuck.
She draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to create straightforward plans for everyday problems. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when they fit the issue at hand. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make concrete changes but feels unsure where to start.
Many people contact her for anxiety, depression, work stress, or relationship and family concerns. She also supports clients coping with trauma, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career transitions. Additional interests include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and forgiveness work.
Sessions aim to notice what already works for each person and build small, doable changes from there. Lisa emphasizes strengths while helping clients learn skills for managing emotions, communication, and goals. Her style is direct but empathetic, with an eye on real-life applications.
With three years of counseling experience, Lisa works with adults across a range of issues. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Wisconsin license and practice context. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to set goals that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, and it can be paired with other techniques to manage emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means sessions can shift over time if different tools become more helpful.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also make it simpler to continue work through life transitions or when coordinating around caregiving and work commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so the focus remains on practical skill building and real-world change.
