Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) working in Florida with 14 years of experience working full-time in the mental health field and in addiction treatment. I strive to create a counseling relationship that is safe and accepting. I have been told I am genuine, encouraging, and direct at times.
I have a passion for helping others with a wide range of concerns, including low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, communication problems, relationship issues, depression, trauma, and abuse, as well as coping with life changes.
With vast knowledge and experience in working with drug, alcohol, and process/cross addictions, family conflicts, guilt and shame, as well as co-dependency and the integration of the twelve-step approach, I hope to assist you in overcoming your struggles.
In addition, I also assisted others who have barriers with anger management, control issues, domestic violence, commitment struggles, and aim to help reverse a cycle of thoughts and behaviors that are destructive to self and within relationships through challenging irrational beliefs.
My therapy style is warm and empathic, combining experience and a sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to the therapeutic process. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I utilize different therapeutic techniques, and I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
It takes strength and courage to seek assistance and ask for help. I am here to support and empower you on your journey of making positive changes to achieve a more fulfilling and happier life!
How can I help you?

During our sessions, she lets me talk freely, ensuring that I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings. What stands out the most about Lisa is her positive and thoughtful approach to therapy. She consistently provides actionable steps that are practical and tailored to my needs, helping me make real progress. I deeply appreciate that she never has a judgmental tone and maintains a warm, non-judgmental demeanor. She is easy to get along with and creates a safe, supportive environment where I feel understood and valued. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist!!!! <333

This is my second review of Lisa Westcoat, and I'm happy to say that things with Lisa have only gotten better. She's truly an empathetic person who really cares about my wellbeing. She's been with me through a very intense and traumatic breakup, she's helped guide me through the struggles of a new relationship, she's been there through my sobriety and through my relapse, and she's helped me navigate my career through all of the stress and pain that I've felt these last few months. I can't say enough good things about her talents and skills as a counselor, but also her personality makes it easy to talk openly. She's fair, strong, and honest. She's creative and adaptive in her approaches, and she really listens. Lisa is the kind therapist that anyone can find results with. I'm much more insightful and self-aware having spent this time with her. I am truly grateful.

Lisa is one of those rare people that can lead a conversation in a certain direction while never letting you hand over the reigns. I have been incredibly impressed with her ability to let me discover things about myself while not blatantly addressing them as to seem like a purely outside viewpoint. In short, she helps you figure out you without seeming accusatory, sycophantic, or otherwise disingenuous. She has been phenomenal to work with, and I cannot recommend her enough to those who are looking for help.
