About Lisa
Lisa Pepper-Satkin is an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California - with 30 years of clinical and coaching experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and life changes. She also helps people dealing with control issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, and women’s issues.
Lisa blends psychotherapy and executive coaching in sessions. That means conversations may shift between exploring feelings and setting clear goals or action steps. She is direct about accountability and helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable steps.
Her background includes psychotherapy, entrepreneurship, and leadership development. She runs workshops and retreats focused on psychological tools and creative problem solving. These group experiences aim to pair practical exercises with reflective work.
In one-on-one meetings she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching methods to help people sort priorities, clarify values, and practice new ways of communicating. Sessions often include concrete strategies for coping with transitions and rebuilding confidence after loss or separation.
Clients can expect a mix of listening, actionable planning, and follow-through. Lisa tends to combine intuition with structure, offering straightforward feedback and collaborative problem solving. Her long experience is used to help people move from feeling stuck to making deliberate choices about next steps.
How therapeutic methods translate to virtual sessions
Lisa commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching approaches. One approach focuses on clearly identifying goals and stepping toward them with short, practical actions; this helps with life transitions, career decisions, and relationship choices. Another approach emphasizes emotional processing and communication practice to address grief, guilt and shame, and recurring relationship patterns; this involves talking through feelings and rehearsing new ways of speaking and listening.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to pick approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as work progresses. That way sessions stay focused on what the client wants to change or understand.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time. It can also let people join from another location when meetings or travel would otherwise interrupt progress.
