More about Lisa

  • LPC

Hi, my name is Lisa Cruz. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have a master's degree in psychology. I have counseled college students and worked at a community mental health center.

I have experience working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, mood swings, anger issues, psychosis, and other mental health symptoms. I have worked with youth and adults. I have an eclectic approach when it comes to counseling. I like to combine different modalities of counseling, such as person-centered, CBT, and solution-focused therapy. I strive to help my clients identify and achieve their goals.

My goal is to help clients build their coping skills, so that they can move forward in life and enjoy all that life has to offer.

About online counseling

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 really felt like I could tell her anything! It wasn’t just talking about it but figuring out why and she gave me “homework” to help my stay accountable with making things better.

Reviewed November 2021

Lisa Cruz is much better than the psychoanalyst that never spoke and shows much more talent at psychoanalysis. I feel supported to seek my better self with her guidance. She doesn't go for retraumatizing me, even if I mention something that my other analyst would get curious about. She is professoinally helping me get better ( i see results) and she will do no harm .
