About Lisa
Lisa Winn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, or feeling low, and those struggling with relationship issues, ADHD, or self-esteem concerns. She creates a simple, direct space where clients can talk about what matters most.
Conversations focus on practical steps and on understanding how feelings show up in the body as well as in thoughts. Lisa aims to reduce overwhelm and help people move toward clearer choices.
Background and approach
Her approach blends somatic work with acceptance and commitment techniques and client-centered listening. That means sessions may include attention to bodily sensations, values-based goal setting, and steady, respectful conversation about what is getting in the way. Over two decades of practice have shaped her ability to respond to many different concerns.
In addition to core specialties she supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems. Lisa practices in Missouri and holds Missouri LPC number 2003031754. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients for online work.
She aims to meet each person where they are and help them build usable skills for everyday life.
Using body-focused and values-based work online
Somatic-informed therapy pays attention to physical sensations and how stress shows up in the body. In an online session this can mean slowing down to notice breathing, posture, and tension, then using simple practices to reduce activation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and try different methods to see what fits. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize somatic practices, values work, or more cognitive strategies like CBT in a given session.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when in-person visits are difficult. The range of formats also allows emotions and body signals to be noticed and discussed in ways that feel manageable for each person.
