About Lisa

Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She creates a welcoming, supportive atmosphere for those dealing with trauma, relationship strain, body image worries, and questions about identity.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her. Conversations are practical and focused. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals to manage anxiety and cope with life changes.

Over 16 years of practice, Lisa has worked with concerns such as depression, grief, addiction, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She draws on multiple ways to help, including work that looks at thoughts and behaviors and methods that strengthen emotional connection and awareness.

In session she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice mindfulness skills to lower tension. She also uses emotion-focused techniques to improve communication and repair strained relationships at an individual level.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. She will help you define goals, try practical strategies, and adjust the plan as issues change. Sessions are offered in English and reflect her Kentucky licensure and background.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and responding with empathy and respect. It helps people feel heard and guides them to find their own solutions to stress and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change habits that contribute to low mood or worry.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express emotions more clearly and improve how they relate to others. It is useful for people who want to repair communication patterns and better manage conflict or intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. This collaborative process means approaches can change over time as needs evolve.

Confirm available session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join from a quieter location or while on a break from work. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and emotion-focused techniques effectively in remote sessions.
