Ms Lisa is God sent. I could not ask for a better therapist. She listens and will make you laugh and I am only still going because of her.

Hi! My name is Lisa and I have been practicing in the field of Social Work and mental health close to 30 years. I have been afforded opportunities to work in a variety of settings. Some of the settings include Psychiatric inpatient, Community mental health clinics, Public School District( mental health) , Substance abuse and Geriatric health, to name just a few. I am energetic and have been described as , honest, caring , hardworking, upbeat ,open-minded, and knowledgeable. I have been known to utilize different therapeutic approaches depending on the concerns of the individual. I try to make each person feel as comfortable as possible. I treat everybody with the utmost respect, just the way I want to be treated. I am a good listener and I like others to feel like they are in a safe space when we are working together. I love to laugh and when appropriate, laughter can be quite healing. If you think based on this brief synopsis of myself, that I may be a good fit, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lisa was warm and caring
Ms Lisa is God sent. I could not ask for a better therapist. She listens and will make you laugh and I am only still going because of her.
Very personable. Very helpful and very understandable of my situation and concerns
I always looked forward to my sessions with Lisa. She is very unassuming, and I was very surprised when I suddenly realised that the changes I was looking for were taking place. She is very empathetic and understanding; a very good listener. If you are looking for someone to take charge, this may not be the person for you. However, if you need someone to listen and help you find your way through the maze of life, Lisa is great. If I do return, I would love to be matched with her again.
Upbeat, empathetic, interested and very engaged. Lisa is the best therapist I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.
Lisa has been great in understanding my issues and working through helping me process my feelings
Lisa is very easy to connect with. She is an awesome person and I wish her the best!
Lisa is very understanding and has helped me with my mental health in so many ways. She is very respectful and and wants the best for you. You can’t ask for any more than that.
Lisa Scott is a great therapist. I honestly feel like she took her time to listen to my issues, find ways to help me cope with them and surmount them. Although my time with her was brief (due to my own financial issues), it was nice having someone to talk to. She's a great listener
I strongly agree that Lisa Scott has helped me immensely with my life issues and strongly recommended her to my friends and family.
A nice and kind lady who talks to you like a friend, like a parent.
Lisa has been great, and I chalk it up to luck more than anything. My first therapist through BetterHelp turned out to be a wash, and I was quickly matched with Lisa. She really understands my situation, and has the professional experience to back up her knowledge and suggestions. It has really helped me in these challenging days.
Mrs. Scott is very professional, warm and attentive. She was very responsive and did her best to accommodate my needs and schedule. I truly appreciate her insight and kindness.
