Hello, I’m Lisa! My name is Lisa Vanderpool, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and teenagers and specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, substance issues, life transitions, trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. I use a blend of therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Mindfulness techniques, to help my clients make progress, start feeling better, and navigate life more successfully. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I work

Are you tired of waking up and dreading the day? Are you are tired of telling people you are "fine, okay, good" when you are really not. You may struggle even to remember the last time you woke up happy and ready to enjoy what the day brought to you. It's time for you to begin the journey of healing, and counseling is a great way to heal from past trauma or grief and gain tools to help you manage life's daily stress and emotions. I offer both online and in-person counseling. Call or email me today to start feeling better!

Deciding to begin therapy can be a vulnerable time in life. I am here to help you, as your therapist, identify your goals, find your strengths, and implement healthy coping skills. I work with children, adults, and families to focus on healing. I enjoy working with all ages, and specialize in working with children (and their caregivers) and individuals with an abuse history. In therapy, we will utilize your strengths and interests, such as art or play for children, to individualize treatment!

Navigating life’s complexities can often feel overwhelming. Whether you’re grappling with intimate relationship issues, managing the unique pressures of being an emergency responder, or facing personal challenges, you don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore these difficulties and discover your inner strengths.

I believe that substance use is a shell that covers an underlying battle, the reason people use to escape. I want to help you uncover and explore that battle and empower you with the tools you need to be victorious!

Life can be more challenging than you expect, and sometimes you need help in moving forward. In those times, you need someone who understands you and can coach you in finding a healthy way to manage what life throws at you. A good therapist is like a fellow traveler who is able to help you make sense of life and relationships. In many life situations, a supportive counselor who understands how challenging life is can be a helpful part of your journey.

Rare is it to be born a human being, rarer still to have heard of Enlightenment, and even rarer still to pursue it. My clients are looking for more, and are committed to a process of transformation. They want proactive tools that melt everything in the way of their highest authentic self. They want to feel completely at home within their own bodies and to truly heal their relationships, especially the one with themselves.

My goal is to help my clients find health and healing through introspection and understanding of their history and making active change in their lives.

For many of us, working on emotional and relational issues is something we tend to put off until life gets too painful to manage on our own. We struggle to get back to what life used to be, but we cannot seem to find our way. Marriages dissolve, relationships crumble, routine tasks seem overwhelming, and the life for which God made us appears to be permanently out of reach. Perhaps you are reading this now because you are looking for a change. Your new beginning is one step away, and I would be honored to take that journey with you.

There are so many reasons people seek out a therapists. Whatever your reason is and no matter how many times you may have tried to resolve it on your own, I hope you know how strong you are for not giving up! Resilience can be a strength but it doesn't have to be your only armor in your battles. Counseling can provide you more options. A great thing about counseling - it's for everyone because we all have needs and we could all use some support and/or help from time to time!

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients ranging in age from 13 to 65+. I find great joy in helping individuals discover a deeper love and understanding of themselves while also learning how to better cope with the often chaotic tendencies of life. Utilizing a holistic approach, I offer clients the space to explore their inner strengths through mindfulness, play, art, developmentally based theories and other evidence-based practices.

If you are reading this, know that I am proud of you for taking this important step in your healing journey to search for a counselor you feel would be a good fit. Life and relationships can be hard to navigate! Sometimes, we need someone to walk beside us through difficult times in a trusting environment that allows space for gaining strength and insight. You aren't alone! I currently see clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, boundary issues, navigating confusing or difficult life situations, and trauma. I am fully trained in EMDR therapy for trauma and disturbing circumstances.

I work with women, children and teens and strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment, free of judgment for my clients as they work towards self-understanding and personal empowerment. We will collaborate together to understand the dynamics of their current struggles, compassionately unravel the dynamics of their past, and examine how it has impacted their overall wellness. I am trauma-informed, and have an integrative approach to counseling - which simply means I tailor sessions to fit your unique personality and most effectively meet your most pressing needs.

Accepting new clients - Trauma is hard. It can feel like there’s a constant rain cloud following you around, impacting your relationships, sleep, work, and outlook on life. You might feel like you're on a never ending roller coaster. It can be scary to take that first step in meeting someone new to help you find sunnier days but there is hope. I believe in teamwork and genuine human connection as an essential part of counseling and growth. I hope you’ll take a moment to connect by giving me a call or sending me an email to see how we can work together to find your sunnier days.

I specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder self-esteem issues, dysfunctional relationship patterns, boundary issues, and a variety of other issues. I utilize Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Rational Emotoive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Both of these modalities are evidence based and have been shown to be extremely effective. I know what it’s like to not be living the life you want because of these types of issues, but there is a different way. We can get there together.

Sometimes life brings seasons in which we feel overly anxious or depressed, insecure, or simply feel lost. You might be dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions, struggling to navigate relationships, or maybe you experienced a significant life change and are trying to figure out who you are and what’s next. My goal is to empower you to take back control of your life.

How long have you felt detached or misunderstood? Do you feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do? If you are struggling with a specific issue or just have a desire to improve your quality of life, we can work together to create the changes you want! You are the expert regarding your life and experiences. I can provide you with skills and support to address your concerns and create changes in your life. Asking for help and sharing your most difficult struggles takes courage. When you are ready, I will be here to provide support and to help you overcome those struggles.

Is your past is invading your present? Are your emotions overwhelming you at times? Is your self-esteem is low to non-existent? Do you often feel you are not good enough? I would love the opportunity to walk along side you as you begin to live your best life again.
