About Lisa
Lisa Lee-Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings 13 years of clinical work to sessions and focuses on relationship and family challenges, parenting struggles, intimacy concerns, mood issues, and recovery from trauma.
Background and approach
She speaks English and French and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Her style is straightforward and practical.
She helps people find their own answers while offering tools when needed. Conversations are tailored to the issue at hand, with an emphasis on clearer communication and doable steps forward.
She regularly works with people facing depression, bipolar mood challenges, addictions, grief, eating and body image concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and major life transitions.
Additional focuses include blended family issues, codependency, control struggles, and family-of-origin patterns. In sessions she mixes evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavior methods and Gestalt-informed strategies, then chooses other approaches that match the person and the situation.
The aim is to replace blame with understanding and to build skills that improve everyday interactions. Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can work in ways that fit their schedules. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
Evidence-based approaches for online relationship and family work
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavior methods that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that contribute to mood problems or relationship strain. These techniques are helpful for depression, anxiety, eating concerns, and managing impulsivity.She also draws on Gestalt-informed strategies that emphasize awareness in the moment and clearer emotional expression. These approaches can help people communicate more directly, notice patterns in interactions, and practice new ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test what helps, adjust techniques as needed, and set practical goals that fit daily life and relationship needs.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to have brief check-ins, handle quick steps between sessions, or communicate without being on camera. These options help people access therapy in the ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels.
