About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 14 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and concerns about motivation and self-esteem. Her work also covers relationship and family-related issues, grief, addiction, and life changes that often appear in early adulthood.
She conducts sessions in a straightforward way and adapts the conversation to each person's needs. Lisa uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She draws on client-centered techniques to focus on the person's experience and on cognitive behavioral ideas to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
Clients often come with worries about identity, work, or relationships. Lisa also supports people dealing with sleep and eating concerns, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and caregiver stress. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and recovery after domestic violence or other trauma.
Sessions aim to break problems down into manageable steps. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when people want clear goals and short-term changes. Trauma-focused work is available for those who need to process past harms and build safer patterns in daily life.
She offers services in English and practices across Tennessee. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the online options. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what matters to the client and build a respectful working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include practical exercises, thought records, and clear homework to practice between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps people strengthen their own reasons for change by exploring ambivalence and setting realistic goals. This method works well for decisions about career moves, substance use, or lifestyle shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps clarify what feels most useful and realistic for daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy around work, study, and busy schedules by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. They also make it easier to keep shorter check-ins, use phone-only calls when bandwidth is limited, or schedule sessions that fit a lunch break or commute routine.
