About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, motivation and self-esteem concerns. Her listed areas also include relationship and family topics and blended family issues. Lisa talks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps.
In sessions she listens to what a person is handling now and what they want to change. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that get in the way and to set small, realistic goals. Sessions often include simple strategies to manage symptoms and to help people try different responses in daily life.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize a person's perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen reasons for change. Trauma-focused and solution-focused techniques appear when relevant to the concern at hand.
People who reach out often want practical help with coping, clearer communication, or ways to reduce overwhelm while juggling work and home life. Lisa can help with relationship concerns and common blended household stresses like role confusion and co-parenting adjustments.
Sessions aim to identify one or two manageable steps each week. That can mean practicing a new communication approach, testing a behavioral change, or building a short routine for sleep or stress. The focus is on what helps a person make steady progress.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set goals and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides practical exercises to shift those patterns. These methods are often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match the person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision can change over time as progress is made or new concerns appear.
Session formats in this profile were not specified, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, cut down on travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can allow for shorter check-ins when needed, fewer interruptions to the day, or flexibility around work and family commitments. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so people can practice changes between sessions.
