ABOUT ME

Welcome! Thank you for visiting. I’m Lisa Reid, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering online psychotherapy for highly sensitive adults. You may refer to me as therapist, psychotherapist, or social worker.

My approach blends the traditional therapeutic relationship with experiential mind-body-energy techniques. With gentle facilitation and support, I invite you to notice your present experience—thoughts, beliefs, bodily sensations, and behavioral pattern—that may be keeping you from the life you want. You will have opportunities to build on your strengths, cultivate your gifts, and learn practical skills to help you reach your therapy goals.

The therapeutic relationship is central to this work. It provides a safe foundation for lasting emotional, physiological, neurological, and energetic shifts.

Choosing to Live Your Best Life

To maintain balance in my life outside of work, I prioritize meaningful connections and activities that nourish me physically, mentally, and spiritually. I spend time with my husband, our two grown children, and our two dogs, and I make regular space to connect with extended family and friends.

For self-care I focus on:

  • Movement and embodied joy: exercising, dancing, and practicing yoga or Pilates.

  • Creative expression: painting and cooking.

  • Intellectual and emotional enrichment: reading, socializing, and watching films to learn from and empathize with others and characters.

  • Cultural growth and perspective: traveling to deepen cultural awareness, humility, and historical understanding.

  • Cognitive stimulation: playing Mahjongand learning new therapy skills and languages.

  • Grounding in nature: gardening, walking, and birdwatching for calm and delight.

  • Spiritual nourishment and gratitude: meditation, stillness, and prayer.

These practices help me stay centered, energized, and connected—to myself and to others.

My Approach

I create a calm, nonjudgmental space using compassion, acceptance, curiosity, patience, and a bit of humor so clients can do the work that brought them to therapy. A safe, trusting connection between us is the base for therapy, which can be both rewarding and hard.

I specialize in supporting highly sensitive, neurodivergent, deeply empathetic, or intuitive people, and their partners or parents. Many clients have trouble with focus, attention, avoidance, rejection sensitivity, anxiety, relationships, social anxiety, attachment, or trauma. They often have unique gifts and high intelligence but find it hard to do what they know they can.

I’m a self-taught neuroscience fan, drawn to how we learn, what shapes our thoughts and behavior, and how mind, body, and spirit connect. With over 25 years of clinical work, I’m an experienced therapist who’s helped many children, teens, adults, couples, and families, including biological, foster, and adoptive families. I’ve supported countless “aha” moments as clients find parts of themselves they’d hidden or lost to cope with pain or trauma.

Through ongoing learning and my own inner work, I respect the natural wisdom of mind, body, and spirit. I’m grateful for the trust and courage my clients show, and I value the lessons they teach me. I love being a therapist and helping people achieve lasting emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
