About Lisa

Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues that affect daily life and relationships.

Her work is direct and compassionate. She treats people with respect and sensitivity and adapts conversations to suit each person's needs. Sessions aim to help clients build confidence, find motivation, and cope with major life changes.

Lisa uses practical approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. She draws on methods that target symptoms and on talk-focused ways to find solutions. This blend can be useful for concerns such as sleep or eating problems, parenting strain, grief, and managing mood or attention challenges.

Clients can expect an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. Lisa emphasizes collaboration and supports people as they set goals and try new strategies. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues as part of broader personal work.

Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, and caregiving stress, and she is familiar with issues like attachment and blended family dynamics. People who want clear steps, practical tools, and steady encouragement may find her style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It emphasizes empathy and letting the person lead the pace and topics, which helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk about pregnancy, childbirth, or parenting worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches simple, practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, sleep, or eating concerns and often includes short exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals and comfort level, and may combine approaches over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, useful for regular check-ins, or helpful for accessing a clinician without extra travel. Online work can support goal setting, skill practice, and processing difficult events while keeping focus on practical progress and daily life adjustments.
