Getting to know Lisa Sanderson

Hi there, I'm Lisa! My name is Lisa Sanderson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Missouri, providing telehealth services to clients statewide. I work with adults who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulty managing stressors in their lives. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to assist clients in moving toward a better life. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Saint Louis University, which provided me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively. My approach to therapy varies depending on the needs and goals of each client. I have a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and help clients learn a variety of tools to cope with their challenges. I am passionate about teaching clients how their thoughts impact their feelings and challenging them to think in new ways. I focus on working with adults in individual therapy, especially those dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma. I am very attentive with clients and communicate in a direct but empathetic style. Sessions will challenge clients to step outside their comfort zones. I decided to become a therapist after having a very positive and impactful experience with a therapist myself. Growing up with a mother who suffered from mental illness, I have always been drawn to helping people with mental health issues live better lives. After the first or second session, I assist clients in identifying their priorities and what they want to accomplish in therapy. It is always up to the client which problems they want to work on and which they do not. During our first session, I ask what brought the client to therapy and encourage them to share a bit about the history and nature of their concerns. I also try to get to know the client and help them determine if I am a good fit for them.
