About Lisa

Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, and other complex life concerns.

Background and approach

She blends empathic listening with practical strategies to help clients navigate changes, cope with intense emotions, and rebuild a sense of stability and self-worth. Her style emphasizes a person-centered stance that honors each client’s unique experience while drawing on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness skills, and emotionally focused work to address patterns that maintain distress.

Over 16 years of practice she has supported people dealing with body image struggles, eating and substance concerns, compassion fatigue, and communication or commitment difficulties. Lisa aims to create an affirming therapeutic space that encourages growth and clearer decision-making.

She works collaboratively to set goals, teach coping tools, and strengthen emotional awareness so clients can move forward with greater resilience and clearer interpersonal connections.

Approaches that guide online work and fit client needs



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens carefully and helps clients explore their values and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs empathy and a space to process feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognizing and working with emotions in relationships and personal patterns to improve connection and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, consider what methods fit their situation, and adjust strategies over time so care reflects evolving needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support without traveling. These formats allow sessions to fit into busy schedules and provide multiple ways to communicate between meetings, helping clients maintain continuity of care and practice skills in day-to-day life.
