About Lisa Fox

Life can be very difficult, at times, and situations develop when a person can feel "stuck" and have difficulty seeing a way out. I utilize an eclectic approach to counseling and aim to generate a comfortable environment which will eliminate that "under the microscope" feeling, some people tell me they fear when seeking counseling. I initiate counseling with person centered, solution oriented strategies, which will allow the client to begin taking steps toward relieving stress while generating hope for a more fulfilling future. I utilize, active and reflective listening, mirroring, Rational Emotive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as re-framing, and occasionally homework to help enable self motivation and the confidence to achieve personal life successes. I believe that people can learn the confidence to deal with many difficult situations, with encouragement, compassion, self understanding and the acquisition of new skills to approach problems which may arise in the future. I have a MA in counseling from the University of South Florida, with a focus on mental health. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor in the State of Ohio. I started my career in Florida nearly 27 years ago and have my primary experience in dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD and bipolar disorder . I have extensive experience helping adult survivors of abuse as well as having presided over a group home for sexually abused girls. I am neither formal nor rigidly structured in my counseling approach. I believe in treating each person individually and it takes a bit of time to learn about each person's perceptions and history. I work toward being compassionate, understanding and patient in my efforts to help you discover solutions for problems you are experiencing. Though I have studied and respect many religious beliefs, and will do my very best to remain aligned with your personal beliefs, I do not provide religious counseling. Please note that I am not able to provide documentation for court or custody cases regarding counseling outcomes or participation. If you need this type of help, finding someone in your local area would be best. I am not available for help with porn addiction as this is a rather specialized segment in which I am not proficient. I look forward to working with you!

“Still early in working with Lisa, but she’s been fantastic thus far. Lisa seems to have this incredible way of reading through the lines to identify applicable conclusions or traits, meaning, she is fully attentive and bought into her clients. Her sarcasm might not be for everyone, but it aligns 100% with me. I am very much looking forward to my mental health journey with Lisa by my side!”
