Lisa Haughey, LPC

Lisa Haughey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience. She brings a warm, direct approach to sessions and focuses on practical changes people can use day to day. Lisa aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life transitions with clear tools and steady support.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. In conversation she balances empathy with straightforward guidance. She emphasizes helping people build skills and mindsets rather than offering quick fixes.

Lisa has a long background in both mental health and substance-dependency counseling. Her work has included helping people with career challenges, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, grief, and coping after major life changes. She also has experience with people affected by the criminal justice system and the practical challenges of reentry.

Sessions with Lisa focus on clear goals and small, usable steps. She listens for values and priorities, then helps people try new habits and thought patterns that fit their lives. When needed she can be direct and challenge unhelpful thinking while remaining respectful.

People who connect with her typically want practical strategies, a steady guide, and room to bring their spiritual or faith beliefs into the conversation. She invites anyone ready to work on change to begin with a simple first step toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thought patterns that lead to stress or low mood and to test new, more helpful behaviors. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, addiction challenges, and everyday habits tied to mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different strategies and adjust what you do based on what helps in real life.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for applying new habits between meetings and keeping momentum while managing work, family, or other responsibilities.
