About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Hammons is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and the strains of life transitions. She also addresses guilt and shame alongside other issues such as body image, caregiver stress, and grief from separation or loss.
Her sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps people name the feelings that get in the way. Discussion may include how thoughts and behaviors interact, and simple strategies to test different ways of responding to difficult situations.
She often helps people who are facing role changes, aging or caregiving demands, and the fallout from family conflict or divorce. Common topics include communication problems, commitment or codependency struggles, and coping after disasters or domestic violence. Eating and body image concerns and co-morbid mental health issues are also within her work scope.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. The focus is on making manageable adjustments rather than on abstract theory. Conversations cover forgiveness, guilt and shame when those themes come up and practical ways to move forward in day-to-day life.
Her practice is based in Mississippi and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process described on the site.
Therapeutic techniques and working online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in this practice include approaches that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. This involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and trying alternative responses to reduce anxiety and depressive feelings. It is useful for stress, low mood, and self-critical habits.Another common approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral experiments. This means planning small, practical tasks to test what helps, like brief activity changes, communication rehearsals, or structured problem-solving. These methods are helpful for relationship concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, and rebuilding confidence after life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are shaped together so the focus and pace feel useful rather than overwhelming.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering sessions without being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical options to help sessions fit into busy schedules.
