About Lisa
Lisa Tidwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. People reach out to her for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and issues around sexuality and body image.
Her work is practical and direct. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and make small changes that fit daily life. She can help identify patterns that increase shame, guilt, or impulsivity and suggest steps to reduce their impact.
Lisa also has experience with relationship structures outside the mainstream, including polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements, and with BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. She talks through sexual concerns and relationship arrangements without judgment and helps people sort values, boundaries, and communication strategies.
When major life shifts occur, Lisa helps people move through divorce, separation, and transitions. She supports young adults facing career or identity decisions and people coping with the aftermath of traumatic events.
Her approach centers on practical tools and steady conversation. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable coping skills, and realistic behavioral steps. The emphasis is on improving daily functioning and reducing the interference of anxiety, shame, or past harm.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address symptoms and daily challenges. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. This method breaks problems into small, concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions.Another helpful approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity. It includes short, practical exercises for grounding, distress tolerance, and regulating intense feelings so they disrupt life less often. These skills are useful after trauma and during major life changes.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to change direction.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity during transitions and for accessing consistent support alongside work and family responsibilities.
