About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those facing parenting concerns and relationship struggles.
Her approach is grounded in respect and compassion for each person who reaches out. She keeps conversations practical and focused. Sessions are tailored to the individual's needs and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Lisa helps clients identify small, workable steps to reduce distress and build confidence over time. Her work draws on several therapies that emphasize problem solving and personal strengths. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, short-term goals and track progress. For people processing difficult memories or abuse, she incorporates trauma-focused methods that aim to reduce the ways those experiences affect daily life. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the will to change habits or manage addictions.
Lisa aims to create a supportive space so people feel heard and understood. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to try approaches that fit their routines. If someone wants support with parenting, grief, career stress, or mood concerns, she offers practical tools and steady guidance to move forward.

How Lisa’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work based on their comfort and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more helpful options; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust plans so the approach fits the client’s life and needs rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are good when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or days when a shorter exchange is helpful. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
