Lisa Longo, LMHC, LPC

Lisa Longo is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Oregon. She brings a practical, interactive style to sessions and focuses on solving current problems while also looking at persistent patterns. Her work aims to create a space where people feel seen and heard as they talk through what matters most.

With six years of clinical experience as an LMHC and LPC, she helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, sleep trouble, anger, and issues around self-esteem and career change. Her background includes a broader focus on adoption and foster care, attachment and personality concerns, caregiver stress, and coping after disasters.

Sessions are interactive and practical. Lisa offers insight and direct feedback to help people shift everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way. She uses goal-focused work to address immediate problems while tracing how older patterns still affect daily life.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete steps to try between meetings. The therapist frames therapy as demanding but potentially transformative, and she aims to guide people through both small changes and deeper healing.

Lisa completed her graduate training at Seton Hall University. She has worked in mental health and human services for over twenty years in roles that inform her hands-on counseling style. If you want help with thinking patterns or everyday habits, she integrates practical techniques to help make those patterns more manageable.

How evidence-based techniques help with thoughts and habits

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method she relies on helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. This approach teaches ways to notice patterns, try new responses, and reduce worry and avoidance over time.

Another method centers on building small, repeated habits that improve daily routines and emotional balance. This work breaks big problems into small steps, such as adjusting sleep routines, practicing brief coping strategies, or trying communication experiments in relationships. These techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try. Sessions often mix methods and evolve as progress is made, with regular check-ins about what is and isn’t helping.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. This profile does not list specific formats, so check which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving.
