Dr. Lisa Hammons

Dr. Lisa Hammons is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also provides support around eating and food-related issues and concerns about body image.

She brings 14 years of professional experience to the work. Sessions focus on a straightforward, calm conversation where clients can name what feels hard. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space and to listen first before suggesting ways forward.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. She helps clients build small, doable skills to cope with panic, low mood, and day-to-day stress. She also talks with people about communication and commitment issues and about the emotional effects of caregiving, divorce, or loss.

Dr. Hammons supports adults facing complex, overlapping concerns such as co-morbidity, codependency, guilt, and shame. She offers care that takes into account aging and caregiver stress when relevant. She works at a pace chosen by the client and revises plans as needs change.

Taking a first step can feel risky, and she acknowledges that. The focus in early sessions is identifying goals and small next steps. Over time she helps clients practice strategies and track what improves so the work feels useful and grounded.

How evidence-based techniques guide online care

Dr. Hammons uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing anxiety and improving mood. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of interpreting situations to lower panic and worry. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, practical actions such as activity scheduling and gradual exposure to reduce avoidance and lift low mood.

She also uses communication-focused strategies to improve how people express needs and set boundaries in relationships. These methods are helpful for commitment issues, codependency, and the everyday conflicts that increase stress. Each approach is explained in simple terms and tied to concrete exercises clients can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. Plans are adjusted over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel, and keep continuity during life transitions. It can also allow for quicker check-ins or standing appointment times that match a client's routine.
