About Lisa

Lisa Bicket is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and life changes, and she lists life purpose among her focus areas.

She uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels stuck. Sessions often cover everyday problems such as sleep disruption, anger, relationship strains, and caregiver stress. Lisa also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and attention-related concerns like ADHD.

Her style is client-centered, which means she listens first and adjusts the pace to what the person needs. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to examine patterns of thinking and practical strategies to change those patterns. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas appear when small, doable steps help people move forward.

People who come to her often want help sorting priorities after a change in work, relationships, or health. She talks through concrete options and coping strategies rather than making sweeping promises. Sessions focus on actions people can try between appointments and what they noticed afterward.

Her background includes long-term clinical experience in Illinois and a steady practice working with issues across family systems and individual functioning. She offers therapy in English and accepts clients from outside the United States.

Therapeutic methods and online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's concerns. The therapist focuses on understanding what matters to the client and adjusts pace and topics to their needs. This approach helps when someone needs space to clarify values and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It includes simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to try different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.

Mindfulness Therapy involves brief attention practices and learning to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. These techniques can help reduce reactivity and improve everyday coping with stress and family strain.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's preferences, and adjust based on what helps. That means sessions can combine listening, thought-focused work, and short practices to match what the client wants to accomplish.

The original profile does not list which online session formats are used. Confirm the current options before booking so you know what session types are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on the session itself.
