About Lisa

Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and motivation. Lisa aims to meet each person where they are and to offer steady support as they decide what change looks like for them.

Her style is direct and respectful. Conversations are shaped around a client's immediate concerns and practical steps they can try between sessions. She helps people build confidence, manage difficult emotions, and cope with life changes without using confusing jargon.

Lisa integrates several methods to fit the problem at hand. She draws from client-centered work to keep the focus on the person’s goals, and from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, realistic next steps when people feel stuck.

People come to her for a wide range of issues including relationships, grief, addictions, parenting stress, codependency, body image, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with career stress, anger, sleep or eating difficulties, and ADHD-related struggles.

Sessions are shaped together so plans feel doable. Lisa emphasizes practical tools and steady encouragement. She aims to make the process feel manageable for someone reading this on their phone and wondering what the next step might look like.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Client-centered work puts the person’s goals at the center and helps shape sessions around what matters most to them. It supports people who want a listening space that follows their priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress and trying small, practical changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and comfort level. This means plans can shift over time as progress is made or new needs emerge.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work better during a lunch break, and phone-only options can be useful when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals often use online work to make regular support more manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
