About Lisa
Lisa Franco is an Ohio Licensed Independent Marital and Family Therapist (LIMFT) with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Lisa works with people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health and who want clearer direction about what comes next.
In sessions she listens to goals, visions, and practical concerns. She helps people talk through relationship troubles, separation or divorce worries, and communication problems. She also addresses panic attacks, mood problems, and post-traumatic stress with straightforward conversation and concrete next steps.
Lisa pays attention to money and financial stress and how it affects daily life. She also works on body image, self-love, guilt and shame, and control issues that make decision-making harder. Her approach is focused on helping clients notice patterns and try small, manageable changes between meetings.
Clients can expect clear discussion about priorities and realistic strategies they can test outside sessions. She encourages people to set goals related to life purpose and midlife questions without promising a particular outcome. Lisa aims to help people find practical ways forward when uncertainty feels overwhelming.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow standard professional practice for licensed clinicians. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Lisa integrates common evidence-based techniques into sessions by focusing on clear skills and practical steps. One approach involves structured problem solving and behavior-focused exercises to reduce anxiety and panic; this helps people test small changes and track results. Another approach uses elements of trauma-focused methods to help people process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact in manageable ways.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Lisa will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress and feedback guide the plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work on relationship, mood, or life purpose questions from wherever they are, while keeping the focus on practical steps and follow-through.
