About Lisa
Lisa Pepper-Satkin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and big life changes. Lisa also offers coaching-style support for people rethinking work, purpose, or next steps after a major change.
Her sessions combine psychotherapy and practical coaching. She helps people name priorities, break problems into manageable steps, and test small changes. Conversations focus on clear actions and regular follow-up rather than abstract theory.
Lisa draws on experience from psychotherapy, leadership development, and entrepreneurship. She uses creative problem solving and accountability to help people move past barriers. She also leads workshops and retreats that mix psychological insight with practical exercises and planning.
Clients can expect work on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and women’s issues when relevant. Life purpose and direction are offered as part of her coaching focus for those questioning what comes next.
Sessions aim to build resilience and practical skills. Lisa pays attention to both inner experience and external steps, helping people test what actually changes day to day. Her background supports people who want structure, clear goals, and a blend of therapy and coaching methods.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Lisa combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with coaching methods to address life changes and direction. One approach focuses on practical problem solving and behavioral experiments. That method breaks down a concern into small tests to see what changes behavior and mood, which can help with anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck.Another approach emphasizes communication skills and accountability. This involves rehearsing difficult conversations, clarifying limits and needs, and setting follow-up actions to track progress. It is useful for relationship strain, control issues, and navigating separation.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as they learn what helps.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during transitional periods. It can also allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints for accountability, or sessions without video if a quieter setup or less bandwidth is needed. Licensed professionals can use different formats; verify which formats are offered when you schedule.
