Lisa Vanderpool, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, substance issues, trauma, boundaries, assertiveness, and personal growth. I honor and respect each client's unique journey and create a safe space for everyone.

My focus

I work with adults dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, substance issues, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, trauma, attention issues, anger, relationship issues, parenting issues, educational or career transitions, and new life chapters.

My approach

My approach is individualized and tailored to your needs. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, education about anxiety, and mindfulness techniques. These methods help create a shared understanding of your experiences, allowing us to work together to find a path forward.

My communication style

My communication style is straightforward, personable, supportive, humorous, compassionate, and kind. I aim to make you feel comfortable discussing anything and listen intently without judgment. I educate you about what happens in your brain and body during anxiety and share methods to feel calmer and manage symptoms more successfully.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been passionate about helping others navigate life's challenges. Fascinated by the brain, the mind-body connection, and human behavior, I'm deeply committed to understanding how habits, coping skills, and relationships shape us. I'm driven by a desire to help you break cycles, heal from trauma, and overcome challenges.

My goals for you

We work together to define what you want to accomplish. This process starts by building trust and comfort, identifying goals, current issues and obstacles, and exploring strengths and areas for improvement. Together, we work towards achieving these goals.

Our first session

In the first session, we'll discuss how you've been feeling, what you've been dealing with recently, and I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences. We'll focus on building a connection, identifying problems in various areas of your life, and finding a path forward to overcome obstacles and feel better.
