More about Lisa

  • Female
  • LPC

Hi, my name is Lisa Cruz. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have a master's degree in psychology. I have counseled college students and worked at a community mental health center.

I have experience working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, mood swings, anger issues, psychosis, and other mental health symptoms. I have worked with youth and adults. I have an eclectic approach when it comes to counseling. I like to combine different modalities of counseling, such as person-centered, CBT, and solution-focused therapy. I strive to help my clients identify and achieve their goals.

My goal is to help clients build their coping skills, so that they can move forward in life and enjoy all that life has to offer.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I really felt like I could tell her anything! It wasn’t just talking about it but figuring out why and she gave me “homework” to help my stay accountable with making things better.

Reviewed November 2021

Lisa Cruz is much better than the psychoanalyst that never spoke and shows much more talent at psychoanalysis. I feel supported to seek my better self with her guidance. She doesn't go for retraumatizing me, even if I mention something that my other analyst would get curious about. She is professoinally helping me get better ( i see results) and she will do no harm .
