About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Kentucky with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and issues related to LGBTQ identity. She also addresses eating concerns, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.
Lisa uses a practical, person-focused way of working. Sessions usually involve listening, helping clients name patterns, and trying small changes to test what helps. She draws on methods that include cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and emotionally-focused strategies.
Her background includes many years supporting people through life changes like divorce, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, and aging-related concerns. She also has experience with trauma, domestic violence, and substance use problems. Those experiences shape how she prioritizes safety and pacing in sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what’s causing distress and clear options to try between meetings. Lisa pays attention to communication skills, boundaries, and practical coping strategies so people can manage stress and day-to-day demands more effectively.
She is comfortable discussing topics often raised by young adults, such as leaving home, starting work or school, identity, and comparing oneself to peers. Lisa works in English and does not take international clients. For people ready to begin, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says to help them gain clarity. It helps people who need a respectful, steady conversation about identity, relationships, or self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and problems with avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as people test what helps and build skills for daily life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work, or other commitments by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow choices about audio or video depending on bandwidth, and make scheduling across different daily routines simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and emotionally-focused conversations to an online setting so that the work continues between sessions.
