Getting to know Lisa Leadbetter

My name is Lisa Leadbetter, and I am an LCPC licensed in Maine. I believe connection and a strong therapeutic relationship are everything. I draw from many modalities and techniques but believe the client determines what works best. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression and have extensive experience in communication, self-esteem, and helping people be their best selves. I earned my MEd in Counseling Education from the University of Maine, which laid the foundation for my approach to therapy. My approach I most often use cognitive behavioral therapy as a main approach, with acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma-informed care, and person-centered modalities also central to my work. My focus I am comfortable working with diverse issues and backgrounds but especially enjoy working with people who need a therapist who can be direct and ask hard questions. I create a safe, secure place where clients feel comfortable discussing things they cannot elsewhere. My communication style From the moment I welcome a client, I am often told I am easy to talk to. I am warm and friendly rather than clinical and reserved. I am often asked, "Lisa, what do you want to know?" My answer is always, "everything!" With permission, I share my thoughts and ask many questions to understand each client’s needs. I believe everyone is the expert on themselves and knows best what they need. I ask many questions to help clients express what they are thinking, feeling, and needing to be their happiest. My journey to mental healthcare I am a late bloomer and didn’t start college until my 30s. I have always loved getting to know people on a deeper level. Becoming a therapist felt natural—it is more who I am than what I do. From my first undergraduate class, I was like a kid in a candy store.
