Welcome to my Coaching Page
I’m Lisa Dalesandro, M.A., LMFT — a licensed therapist, coach, and writer committed to helping clients create meaningful, lasting change.
My 1:1 coaching sessions are designed for individuals ready to take action and move forward with focus and purpose.
Coaching offers a structured, goal-oriented approach that differs from traditional therapy.
What Is Coaching?
Coaching is forward-focused and designed to help you clarify goals, build momentum, and take practical steps toward meaningful results.
While therapy often explores deeper emotional patterns and past experiences, coaching centers on action, accountability, and progress in the present.
It’s ideal if you want to gain direction, increase motivation, and make tangible changes in your personal or professional life.
Areas of Focus
Coaching sessions can help you navigate challenges such as:
Managing stress and anxiety
Reducing burnout and overwhelm
Addressing imposter syndrome and self-doubt
Setting and achieving personal goals
People-pleasing and boundary-setting
Perfectionism and procrastination
Major life transitions (divorce, relocation, career change, graduation)
Enhancing work-life balance and motivation
If you’ve been feeling stuck, coaching provides clarity and actionable strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
What to Expect
Each 60-minute session is focused and collaborative — you’ll leave with clarity, practical tools, and a defined next step.
1. Goal Setting
We’ll start by identifying your priorities and defining realistic, measurable goals.
2. Evidence-Based Strategies
You’ll learn tools drawn from approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, and somatic practices — tailored to your needs.
3. Follow-Up Summary
After each session, you’ll receive a personalized email outlining key takeaways, action steps, and suggested resources.
How Coaching Differs from Therapy
Therapy focuses on emotional healing and insight into long-standing patterns. Coaching, by contrast, emphasizes implementation and forward movement.
Coaching is:
Future-oriented, addressing current challenges and upcoming goals
Action-based, offering practical tools you can apply immediately
Short- to medium-term, with measurable outcomes

Please note: Coaching is not a substitute for therapy. If you’re seeking support for deep emotional or psychological concerns, therapy may be a more appropriate fit.
