About Lisa
Lisa Maulding Anthony is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on problems such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, substance concerns, and guilt and shame.
Lisa uses practical, talk-based work to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and test new ways of coping. She includes client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns and goals.
Hypnotherapy is part of her toolkit and is offered alongside more familiar talk therapies when it fits a person's needs. Sessions are aimed at building skills for handling impulses, managing strong emotions, and reducing repetitive negative self-judgment. She talks through concrete steps rather than relying on abstract explanations.
Her background includes long-term clinical experience in community settings and private practice across Florida. That history informs a straightforward approach to problems like grief, relationship conflict, and the shame that can follow mistakes or loss. She works with adults who want clear, practical strategies for daily life.
Clients begin by describing what feels hardest and what they want to change. From there Lisa helps set short-term goals and reviews techniques that can be used between sessions. She encourages regular check-ins to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Approaches and how online work fits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s often used to address anxiety, low mood, and the stuck feeling that follows shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, letting sessions follow what matters most to the individual.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lisa will work with clients to try methods and see what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative - decisions about techniques and focus are made together and adjusted as work progresses.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For some people not using video can lower the strain of longer appointments. Ask about the formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can arrange sessions that fit daily life.
