Lisa Haughey, LPC

Lisa Haughey is an LPC with decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship concerns. She brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and aims to be direct when clarity is needed. Lisa works with people facing depression, parenting strains, career shifts, grief, and intimacy-related issues, among other challenges.

She has worked in addiction and mental health settings and offers practical support for people rebuilding after difficult life events. That experience includes helping people affected by the criminal justice system who are restarting their lives. Lisa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and avoiding stigmatizing labels in every conversation.

Her approach centers on partnering with each person to build skills and new ways of thinking. She will talk through options, offer tools, and encourage steps a person can try between sessions. She describes her role as supportive but honest - she won’t fix problems for someone, but she will help them develop a workable plan.

Faith, spirituality, and personal beliefs are welcomed in sessions when they matter to the person. Lisa says spiritual paths are part of who people are and she is comfortable discussing them alongside practical concerns.

Across a long career, Lisa has worked with many kinds of problems from ADHD and bipolar concerns to body image, codependency, and trauma. Her aim is to help people gain clarity and make meaningful changes at their own pace.

How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking committed steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching ways to act that match a person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people feel understood and make their own decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will try methods, check how they’re working, and adjust the plan together so it feels useful and relevant.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid commuting time. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose video when more face-to-face interaction helps progress. Licensed professionals can help tailor the format to what works best for a person’s routine and goals.
