Lisa Martin, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in North Dakota

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I'm a generalist therapist who works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, co-dependency, grief, and life transitions. I bring a direct, warm approach to help you navigate what you're facing and move toward the changes you're seeking.

My focus

I help clients identify the changes they want to make and empower them to take action. We'll clarify your values, align your behaviors with what matters most, and develop ways to manage emotional discomfort while actively pursuing growth.

My approach

I use Solution Focused and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy methods with a direct, jump-right-in style. I believe your environment and identity shape both your struggles and opportunities, so we'll consider the full context of your life as we work together.

My communication style

I'm direct and collaborative. I work with you to understand your needs and goals, then provide tangible strategies to reach them. Together we'll create healthy expectations of yourself and others while building practical coping skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

I initially pursued math and education but found myself drawn to understanding the human experience. That curiosity led me to psychology and eventually social work, where I discovered my problem-solving nature fit perfectly with helping people navigate complex life challenges.

My goals for you

I focus on personal empowerment and client-centered growth. We'll work together to improve your emotional flexibility and tolerance while developing the practical behavioral changes you need to reach your goals.

Our first session

Our first session is about understanding your motivations for therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll complete a psychosocial assessment to learn about your situation, supports, and struggles. I'm happy to explain my approach and answer questions to help you decide if we're a good fit.
