Lisa Arce

(MA, LPC)

About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have my Bachelors of Art in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Master's in Community Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio.

I am passionate in helping individual adults, and couples gain the tools they need to become empowered and accomplish their goals in a safe and confidential environment. As a counselor, I believe that you are the master of your own story and you can choose where to go and what to leave behind. I believe in the power of choice and together we can explore how you would like to live your life and problem solve any obstacles you may be encountering.

I utilize an integrative, holistic approach that incorporates a variety of techniques and concepts. I primarily provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a person-centered approach and narrative therapy techniques. In my many experiences with clients over the course of my career, I have witnessed several people begin their journey of healing and take ownership of their lives by utilizing assertiveness techniques, positive coping skills and setting healthy boundaries.

If you want to to work hard and to let go of your false ego that screams at you “you can’t”. I can help! Let's work on learning how to see challenges and obstacles as goals now, instead of impossibilities. I am excited to bring new perspectives and counseling approaches to help you in beginning your journey to living a more balanced and holistic lifestyle.

Lisa is amazing!! She's available even outside of her scheduled hours. Any time I've needed more she was quick to realize this and schedule a video chat. She is so real and relatable. Highly recommend her.

From day one of using BetterHelp, Lisa has been so beneficial and really a key person in helping me get to where I’m at today. I thought I’d need years of counseling, but really after 3 weeks so far, I can tell a huge difference in myself and my life. I owe that to myself for doing the work, but also, Lisa for all of the tools, information, insight, and really just being someone to listen when I so badly needed someone. I am forever grateful to her and this experience. I could tell just from my first chat session that she was a great fit for me and had the professional experience. She is very easy to talk to and take advice from. I was always able to send a message to her when needed outside of my video sessions. You can tell she has a passion in helping others and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.

Lisa has been great, very attentive and responds in a timely manner. I have been able to express my feelings and she provide guidance. She has given me an open forum to say what I need to which has been so important for me to get past this experience I am in
