About Lisa
Lisa Jorgensen-Mattmann is a California LMFT with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD. She also focuses on concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Her sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people notice patterns that cause distress and practices ways to shift those patterns. Lisa often uses evidence-based techniques to address intrusive thoughts, panic, and trauma responses. She aims to help clients manage daily stressors and clearer decision-making when relationships or life changes feel overwhelming.
In therapy she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors connect. She also works with methods that pay attention to the body and to internal parts of experience to reduce the hold of painful memories and strong emotions. These approaches are used to help with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and long-standing shame related to past events.
Sessions include setting specific, realistic goals and trying small, concrete skills between meetings. Lisa values collaborative planning so clients can see whether a particular method fits for them. The plan can change as treatment progresses, based on what helps most.
She practices in California and offers services in English. People considering a first session are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment through the online options provided.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides practical tools you can try between sessions to reduce worry, challenge negative beliefs, and manage panic symptoms.She also draws on body-focused and internal parts approaches that attend to physical sensations and different internal states. These methods help people who carry shame or trauma by easing strong emotional reactions and making memories less overwhelming.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is observed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
The exact online session formats for her practice should be confirmed before booking. When set up, online options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk through format preferences during the matching process so sessions match daily routines and technical comfort.
