About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening carefully and shaping a plan that fits each person's life. Her approach is respectful, direct, and compassionate so clients can take practical steps forward.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with motivation and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and career stress. Lisa pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, and can help people facing adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, or caregiver strain. Lisa uses straightforward methods to help people learn new ways of coping.
She draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help when someone wants to find doable next steps. Her style is collaborative and practical.
She listens first, then sets goals together and adjusts the plan as progress is made. People who want clear options and a respectful, nonjudgmental space tend to do well with her way of working. Sessions are offered in formats that fit busy lives, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Lisa aims to help people make steady, manageable changes and build skills they can use after sessions end.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so the person feels heard and respected; it helps people who need space to talk things through and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to try at home; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful events at a pace they can manage and develop skills to reduce distress from reminders and triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts at change, and what feels realistic. Together they choose or blend methods so the plan matches the client's needs and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video can approximate in-person conversation and allow screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when a quieter audio-only check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and flexible communication between longer sessions.
