About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is a licensed counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Background and approach
Lisa pays attention to identity and LGBTQ concerns while tailoring strategies to each person’s life. Her work blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas. That mix helps people change unhelpful thoughts, notice patterns in relationships, and build skills for daily coping.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to set realistic steps and keep progress moving. Lisa brings 16 years of experience to her practice and works from the viewpoint that therapy should fit the individual. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to track what is working.
Many people find this practical, steady approach helpful when life feels overwhelming. Typical issues she addresses include grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, eating and body image concerns, and recovery from substance problems. Lisa aims to create a warm space where people can speak freely and leave sessions with concrete next steps.
How specific approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on accepting the person where they are and listening without judgment. In practice this means sessions start by asking what matters most and following the person’s lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood; clients often practice brief exercises between sessions to see real change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and strong emotions, helping people name feelings and try new ways of connecting or responding.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and new challenges come up.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text‑based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
