Lisa Hammond, LISW

Lisa Hammond is an Ohio-licensed social worker with five years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and attention difficulties. Her work includes support around relationship concerns and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.

She focuses on practical conversation and a tailored plan. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and goals. Lisa aims to listen with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients think through what matters most to them.

Her background includes supporting people who have faced trauma and those navigating foster care or adoption questions. She also addresses caregiver stress, attachment issues, and communication problems that complicate daily life.

Clients come for help with impulse control, concentration and memory concerns, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and struggles around forgiveness, guilt, or jealousy. She also works with people facing fertility stress, midlife transitions, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set achievable steps and talks through ways to improve coping and decision making. Lisa invites people to take small steps toward change and offers continued support through the process.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress - teaching paced breathing, activity planning, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on improving relationships and communication by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing clearer, more direct ways to express needs and set boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone join without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and coping plans to work well in remote sessions while focusing on practical change and daily routines.
