About Lisa

Lisa Bicket is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 22 years of practice. She focuses on common, often overlapping concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. She also addresses relationship and family problems and matters related to grief, trauma, and intimacy.

Her work centers on straightforward, practical conversations. She listens to what is causing day-to-day strain and helps people name the patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions typically include skills practice, talking through communication challenges, and planning steps that fit into everyday life.

Lisa uses several structured approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's own goals and experiences. Mindfulness techniques support attention and stress regulation between sessions.

She also draws on solution-focused and motivational interviewing methods to break problems into manageable next steps and to support readiness for change. These methods are practical and action-oriented, aimed at concrete improvements in functioning and mood.

People often come for help with parenting stress, sleep disruption, anger, ADHD challenges, caregiver strain, or ongoing family-of-origin issues. Sessions are meant to be clear, down-to-earth, and useful for the week ahead. If a person needs a very different kind of help, she discusses other options and referrals.

BHow sessions work

How Lisa Integrates Therapeutic Approaches Online

Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day challenges because it focuses on practical changes that show results over weeks.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques help reduce stress reactivity and make it easier to use new coping skills when they matter. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the overall pace of sessions by keeping the person’s goals central and listening closely to what matters most to them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adjust what they do together. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical improvements in functioning, communication, and mood.
