Lisa Haughey, LPC

Lisa Haughey is an LPC with more than three decades of experience helping people navigate addiction, anxiety, and major life changes. She brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and aims to be straightforward when clients need clear direction. Her work covers substance dependency, mood concerns, and relationship and career challenges.

She combines practical tools with respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. Sessions focus on building skills clients can use outside therapy. Lisa emphasizes honesty and collaboration - she will not solve problems for clients but will help them learn new ways to cope and decide what matters to them.

Her background includes long experience in addiction and mental health settings, along with life coaching work. She has supported people dealing with reentry after involvement with the criminal justice system and those facing grief, trauma, or changes in family structure. That range gives her familiarity with many complex situations.

Lisa draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor work to each person. She values sensitivity to faith and spirituality and is comfortable talking about how beliefs shape recovery and choices.

People describe her approach as respectful and straightforward. She works to give tools and mindsets clients can use in daily life, whether they are addressing addiction, coping with depression, or confronting relationship and parenting stresses.

Using evidence-based methods for online recovery and change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even with difficult thoughts or urges. It is useful for addiction, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behavior to reduce distress and improve coping skills. This approach often helps with depression, anxiety, and relapse prevention. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental way to strengthen a person's own motivation to change and can be especially helpful early in substance use work or when making big life decisions.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning may combine elements from different approaches as the work evolves.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit a work break, or telephone sessions can require less bandwidth than video. Many people find remote sessions help them keep treatment consistent while managing family, work, and travel demands.
