About
Lisa Dorfman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 38 years of professional experience who combines psychotherapy with a background in nutrition. Based in Florida, she holds therapist licenses in both Florida and Utah and draws on a broad clinical toolkit to address areas such as stress, anxiety, trauma, eating and body image concerns, grief, relationship difficulties, and career or life transitions. Her training includes EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing, and she integrates these approaches to match each person’s goals.
Her practice emphasizes practical skills alongside deeper processing work. Whether the focus is symptom reduction, rebuilding self esteem, coping with change, or addressing trauma and loss, she works with measurable strategies and reflective practices to help people move forward. She also brings nutrition-related insight to conversations about eating and energy, when that perspective is relevant to the issues presented.
Lisa frames work as collaborative. She aims to help people identify strengths, build motivation, and create sustainable habits while using evidence-informed methods tailored to the client’s preferences and presenting concerns.
Online sessions and clinical approaches
Lisa offers online work that blends structured skill-building with trauma-informed processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and goal-focused planning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is described and offered as an approach for working through distressing memories and sensations linked to traumatic events. Mindfulness therapy is introduced to cultivate present-moment awareness, breathing practices, and acceptance-based strategies to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.
These methods are described in accessible terms and selected to align with a person’s preferences. People who want active skills practice, structured problem solving, or targeted trauma work can explore combinations of these approaches in collaboration with Lisa. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients are accepted and the communication format can be discussed during initial contact to determine fit.How long has Lisa been practicing?
