Lisa Cruz

Lisa Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She talks plainly and focuses on real steps people can use right away. Her style is warm and practical for someone unsure where to begin.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That includes Client-Centered work that centers the person's goals, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused techniques to set clear next steps. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are also part of her toolbox when they fit a client's goals.

Lisa has a master's degree in psychology and three years of counseling experience. Her background includes work with college students and time at a community mental health center, giving her experience with a range of concerns and situations. She uses that experience to help people set goals and build useful skills.

In sessions she emphasizes coping skills, clearer thinking, and small practical changes that add up over time. The aim is to help people move forward and get more satisfaction from daily life. Sessions involve identifying what matters most and picking realistic, achievable steps toward those aims.

People considering therapy with Lisa complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. She offers sessions in English and practices in Texas as an LPC.

Approaches that fit real life and online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s goals to help them feel understood and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Together they set small, measurable steps so progress can be seen and changed if it isn’t working.

Confirm the session options before booking to learn about formats offered. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy routines easier by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also support regular check-ins and practice of new skills between sessions, which helps reinforce changes made during meetings.
