About Lisa
Lisa Linger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression, and also supports people dealing with panic attacks, postpartum depression, and life purpose concerns.
Before becoming a counselor she spent 15 years working as a nurse in emergency and urgent care settings. That background shapes how she notices stress responses and physical symptoms alongside emotions. She explains how the brain and nervous system can influence feelings and behavior in plain terms people can use.
In sessions she uses concrete, evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of past events. She helps people learn skills they can apply outside of sessions to manage symptoms and rebuild confidence.
Lisa aims to work collaboratively, asking what matters most to each person and focusing on practical steps. Sessions emphasize learning about how the body and mind interact, practicing real-world strategies, and adjusting the plan as needed. She encourages pacing that fits each person’s needs.
Her clinical focus includes blended family issues, chronic pain, illness and disability, co-morbidity, and dissociation alongside mood disorders. People seeking help with life purpose questions will find that exploration is part of her stated work. She offers services in Florida and conducts work in English.
How CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy work online
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT often involves short exercises, practice between sessions, and clear goals to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work looks at how past events affect current reactions and safety signals in the body. That approach includes grounding techniques and gradual processing so people can feel more in control of reactions linked to traumatic memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
