About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Hammons is a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, depression, or major life changes. She also supports those coping with natural or human-caused disaster and other serious life events.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She creates an open space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps that make day-to-day life more manageable and on small changes that build confidence over time.
Dr. Hammons draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She listens first, then helps clarify priorities and build simple, realistic plans. Conversations cover coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to manage emotions when challenges feel large.
People come to her seeking help with caregiving stress, body image concerns, grief related to separation or divorce, and issues connected to aging. She also addresses patterns like codependency, communication problems, guilt, and shame in a steady, goal-oriented way.
Her style is calm and practical. She encourages modest, achievable goals rather than sudden change. If you want help taking the first step toward feeling steadier, she can help you map out a next step and work alongside you as you practice new habits.
How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and real-world practice. One approach emphasizes building coping skills to manage stress and anxiety; it teaches breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm. Another approach targets communication and relationship patterns by helping people notice unhelpful behavior cycles and try different ways of speaking and setting boundaries to improve interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences, then recommends techniques that fit your situation. You and the therapist check in regularly to see what helps and adjust the plan together.
