Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Lisa Hernandez has been in practice 6 years and is licensed in Florida. Lisa lists stress, Anxiety, family conflicts and trauma and abuse among 30 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Lisa's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Lisa works with
Lisa lists 5 specialisms and 25 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Lisa chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Lisa's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with diverse clients, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and family conflicts with compassion and skill.
My work centers on fostering self-love, healing from trauma and abuse, and building healthier communication. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, women, and individuals from multicultural backgrounds as they work through issues like social anxiety, grief, shame, and the lasting effects of sexual assault or domestic violence. I also support those navigating immigration experiences, relationship challenges, and identity concerns.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are the expert of your own story. My approach is grounded in respect for your unique background and experiences. I create a safe, affirming space where you can explore your feelings, build resilience, and move toward greater self-understanding and purpose.
I'm honored to walk alongside you as you heal and grow.

03 · What happens next
Lisa practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Lisa's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Lisa at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Lisa is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Lisa.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Lisa actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Lisa's - Lisa has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
“You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”
People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.
