Lisa Hughes

Lisa Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with seven years of focused work providing individual therapy to adults. She lists stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, relationship strain, grief, and career concerns among her main areas of practice. Lisa also names life purpose, midlife crisis, multicultural concerns, and women’s issues as topics she addresses.

Lisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening approach. She uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and calm their reactions. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work for people weighing change or feeling stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions that target specific, practical steps.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. Before earning the MA she worked in mental health settings for many years, bringing a long history of supporting adults with serious mental health issues into her current practice.

In sessions she listens, asks clear questions, and helps people set short-term goals they can try between meetings. Conversations often focus on improving communication, coping with loss, addressing workplace stress, and clarifying what matters next in life. She also works with issues such as abandonment, jealousy, forgiveness, and isolation.

Lisa is from Jamaica and names multicultural experience as part of her perspective. Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted; services are offered to people in Maryland. The site’s booking flow asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, so online meetings often begin with open conversation about current worries and goals. This approach helps when someone is unsure what matters next or feels stuck in work or life.

Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and ease worry. In online sessions these practices can be taught and rehearsed during the appointment and then practiced between meetings to manage stress and anxiety.

She will collaborate to find the right mix of approaches for each person based on needs and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than insisting on one fixed method.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be more consistent. If you want to book, confirm the current session options listed during signup before scheduling, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to keep short weekly check-ins or occasional longer meetings to focus on life purpose, career questions, grief, or midlife concerns.
