Lisa Taylor, LCPC

Lisa Taylor is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland. She draws on three years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday thoughts and habits that shape how they feel. She aims to create a calm, approachable space where clients can talk through tough moments without judgment.

She focuses on practical ways to handle grief and loss, rebuild self-esteem, and navigate life changes. Sessions often look at daily thinking patterns and routines that keep problems stuck, then try small, workable shifts that make a difference over time. The work is about steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Lisa also supports people coping with abandonment or attachment concerns, body image worries, isolation and loneliness, and mood-related difficulties. She brings attention to how impulses, obsessions, or dissociation show up in day-to-day life, and helps clients find safer, clearer ways to respond. Her background includes work with trauma-related issues such as post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then helps set goals that match each person’s pace and needs. Clients who want to explore how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood will find practical tools and straightforward discussions.

To start, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The first meetings focus on understanding current concerns and deciding what small steps feel most helpful.

Using evidence-based techniques to change thoughts and habits

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and daily habits. One approach focuses on identifying thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps. This method is practical and aimed at everyday problems like worry, low motivation, and negative self-talk.

Another approach emphasizes coping skills for difficult emotions, such as grief, shame, or anger. These techniques teach moment-to-moment strategies for staying grounded, tolerating distress, and reducing impulsive reactions. They are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns repeat over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences, adjusting strategies if something doesn’t fit. Clients help set the pace and choose which tools to try.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make regular, practical work on thoughts and habits more consistent by letting people apply tools between meetings.
