Hi. I’m Lisa and welcome to Better Help! I know this first step is one of the hardest, yet you are doing it!
I am licensed as a clinical professional counselor in Illinois and have 33 years of experience. My upbringing led me to the helping field. I’ve done my own work through therapy so I know what it feels like to be on “the other side.”
I have practiced at a community mental health agency, hospital-based eating disorders treatment program and a university counseling center. I draw on various approaches and will work with you to personalize counseling to what you need. Ask all the questions you need to be informed.
Clients have shared they find me caring, non-judgmental and very helpful to them. I will ensure you feel safe, heard and go at a pace you are comfortable with. My style is personal, relaxed and I will provide direct feedback and challenges if you are up for it.
Things I enjoy outside of career are exercise, being outside/gardening, coffee, chocolate, time with my companion animals, watching funny videos, and keeping up on social justice issues.
I think it’s important for people to “interview” a therapist to see if it feels like a good fit, so I hope you will contact me to see if it feels like we can work well together. Regardless, best wishes and take care.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have been with Lisa for years now. First at My college and now at betterhelp. I am so glad I found her as she is always providing me with the tools necessary to handle my anxiety and depression. I am very grateful for her.
I’ve been with Lisa for over 4 years because of her insightful guidance and incredible way of helping me look beyond the surface of my struggles. She is a talented listener and has helped me grow immensely. I love how she is always able to offer advice when I need guidance and also help steer me towards supplemental resources.
After researching counselors and even interviewing some on Better Help for a couple of weeks, I decided to go with Lisa Fix. I absolutely made the right decision. She has a sensitive disposition, she listens well and asks great questions which helps me to think about things in new ways. If you want a compassionate counselor who listens and provides great feedback and thoughtful analysis then Lisa would be a great counselor for you .
Lisa is incredibly down to earth, relatable, and meets you where you are at. She had very realistic and do-able suggestions that have really improved my mood and quality of life. Don't hesitate to book with her.
Lisa is intelligent, personable, and very professional. I feel like she understands my needs when it comes to our sessions and meets every expectation I have of a therapist. I always look forward to her thorough responses whenever I do message her because she always has really insightful and useful information to give me. I'd recommend her to anyone I feel needs a compassionate and available therapist.
Lisa is very thoughtful, helpful and caring. She reaches out often and always has great advice.
