About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday problems that can make life feel overwhelming. Lisa also supports individuals coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Lisa uses practical techniques that people can try between sessions to notice small changes in thinking and behavior. Her work draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person’s story. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses.
For those struggling with motivation, she may use motivational interviewing to build on what already matters most to the client. Lisa also offers solution-focused and trauma-focused tools when they fit the situation. These approaches aim to create manageable steps and to address the effects of past harm at a pace the client controls.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the client can handle. People who prefer a practical, down-to-earth style may find this approach helpful. Lisa emphasizes clear goals and small experiments that connect therapy to everyday life.
Her work is intended to help people move toward more stable routines, better focus, and improved coping skills.
How Lisa’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client’s lead and work on goals that feel important right now. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then practices new ways of responding; it works well for anxiety, low mood, and attention-related difficulties by giving concrete skills to use during the week.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lisa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean combining client-centered listening with CBT skills or adding motivational interviewing to support change. The plan can be adjusted as progress and priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different routines. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Shorter issues or quick check-ins can be handled via chat or text messaging. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and practice skills in real life.
