About Lisa
Lisa Bicket is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, parenting pressures, and relationship and family concerns. Lisa also addresses trauma, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and sleeping.
She prefers a client-centered approach that keeps the person and their goals central. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. Lisa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also part of her work. Those methods aim to help someone find small, achievable steps forward. She will help prioritize issues like communication problems, caregiver stress, or codependency so progress feels manageable.
Lisa talks openly about family of origin issues, abandonment, attachment concerns, and blended family dynamics. She supports people coping with aging or chronic illness, chronic pain, and the stresses those bring into daily life. She also addresses disruptive mood patterns and bipolar concerns alongside general coping strategies.
Practical matters are part of sessions - improving sleep routines, managing anger, and planning for life changes. People looking for help with compassion fatigue or burnout will find concrete strategies and check-ins. The tone of work is direct and person-focused, with an emphasis on learning and practicing new ways to respond to old problems.
Approach and online session options
Lisa uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the person’s goals and experiences and encourages self-directed change through empathic listening and reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy is offered to help people tune into present-moment awareness and develop steadier responses to difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines elements from these approaches so sessions address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
