About Lisa
Lisa Kelbaugh is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, grief, sleep struggles, and life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, and those managing ADHD-related challenges.
Lisa keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She builds a calm space where people can talk through what’s hard without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Conversations look at what’s getting in the way now and what small steps can help move things forward. Her work draws on approaches that center relationships, present experience, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions often include exploring how early attachments continue to affect current relationships.
She also uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify habits and try new behaviors between sessions. Mindfulness and motivational methods are offered to help with focus, activation, and reducing reactivity. These tools can be useful for coping with impulsivity, low motivation, or racing thoughts.
Lisa aims to match techniques to each person’s needs rather than following a single recipe. Practical matters are part of the work. She can address career stress, caregiver strain, chronic health impacts, and communication problems.
People can expect gentle guidance, clear goals, and regular review of what is and isn’t helping.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online care
Lisa combines relationship-focused work and practical strategies to help with everyday struggles. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try new ways of relating. This approach can be useful for improving communication, handling family of origin issues, and managing relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more helpful actions. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing small changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lisa reviews a person’s goals, strengths, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time. She offers practical exercises, gentle skill building, and regular check-ins to see what is working and what needs to shift.
Online therapy makes these methods more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, short coaching moments, and ongoing accountability between longer sessions. These options help people keep momentum while managing work, caregiving, or health constraints.
