About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. She works with clients facing trauma, motivation struggles, and concerns about self-esteem and confidence.
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are tailored to a person's needs and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. The first meetings focus on what is most pressing and on small steps that feel manageable.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with relationship struggles, grief, addiction, work stress, and caregiver strain. She also works with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family dynamics. Practical topics like sleep, eating concerns, and managing anger are part of her practice when those come up.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then offers tools from approaches that fit each person. Those tools can include ways to shift thoughts, set achievable goals, and practice new habits between sessions.
Clients are guided to build skills that apply to day-to-day life. The process aims to help people feel more able to handle challenges, make clearer choices, and move toward goals they care about.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and valuing each person's perspective. The therapist creates a space where clients set the pace and topics, which can help when addressing confidence, grief, or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It uses clear, practical exercises to change patterns that keep anxiety or depression active, and it often includes homework between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful for addictions, motivation struggles, and deciding on next steps during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes consistent follow-up and homework review simpler for many people.
