About Lisa
Lisa Calloway brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.
Background and approach
She focuses on creating a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and emotions and begin to develop clearer coping strategies and healthier patterns. Her practice emphasizes respect for each person’s pace and readiness for change, and she encourages clients to take small, achievable steps toward greater well-being.
Using client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, Lisa helps individuals identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills to manage symptoms and improve communication. She also attends to related concerns such as caregiver stress, workplace issues, social anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and life transitions like divorce or midlife shifts.
Licensed as an LCSW in Illinois, she draws on long experience to offer steady guidance while tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Lisa integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting people with empathy, listening closely, and creating a collaborative relationship that helps clients explore feelings and values. CBT offers structured tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lisa treats that as a collaborative effort. She works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, and then tailors techniques so they fit individual needs. This collaborative planning helps determine when to emphasize validation and exploration or when to introduce skills training and behavioral experiments.
Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during busy periods and to practice strategies between sessions, while allowing clients to choose the way of meeting that best supports their engagement and progress.
