About Lisa
Lisa May is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of counseling experience. She is down to earth and straightforward. She takes client concerns seriously and focuses on practical steps forward.
Lisa helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar symptoms, and life changes. Adoption and foster care concerns are listed among her additional focus areas.
Her style emphasizes listening and collaboration. Sessions are centered on the person's goals, with concrete tools and reflections offered along the way. She draws on a mix of approaches to meet different needs rather than one fixed method.
Over the years Lisa worked in social work beginning in 1996 and moved into counseling roles by 2002. She ran a private practice in Kentucky before relocating to Tennessee, and she continues to base her work there. That background informs how she handles practical problems and long-term concerns.
Clients can expect a practitioner who values clear conversation and steady support. Lisa aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions. She describes her work as a long-term commitment and plans to keep practicing through retirement.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify goals and values. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful habits. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client’s needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. This will ensure the chosen format fits your schedule and technical needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks at work or quieter windows at home. Many people find these practical benefits help them stay consistent with therapy.
