About Lisa

Lisa Stammerjohann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 35 years of experience. She uses Narrative-informed work alongside practical therapy methods to help people make sense of difficult chapters in life. Lisa writes and listens in ways that help clients reorder their stories and find clearer next steps.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with big life changes. She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to surface patterns in thinking and behavior so clients can try new ways of responding. Therapy with Lisa blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening. That mix is used to set small, doable goals and practice new habits between sessions.

Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs. She often supports people facing isolation, guilt or shame, family of origin concerns, fertility or caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose or midlife shifts. Lisa draws on decades of clinical experience to help clients map options and move toward the life they want.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through a range of online formats. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The work is collaborative and focused on what matters most to each person.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT Translate Online

Lisa brings Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate a person from a problem so they can re-author their life chapters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then use Narrative work, ACT tools, or client-centered listening as a team decision. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try small changes and see what works in real life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and watching how someone reacts in the moment. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text can support brief coaching, check-ins between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different rhythms of life.
