About Lisa

Lisa Shifflett is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues related to motivation and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career struggles, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversation and treatment plans to each person's circumstances.

Lisa uses evidence-informed methods such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide the work. She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at empowerment and practical progress rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Clients who choose her practice can expect personalized attention that acknowledges the courage required to make change. Sessions are structured to support realistic goals and build skills for coping with life transitions, relational stressors, and persistent symptoms.

Lisa aims to create a steady, supportive environment for people pursuing greater wellbeing and functioning.

Approaches that guide online care and practical change

Lisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and it often includes practical exercises and skill building that translate well to video or messaging sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences by helping clients process distress and develop coping strategies tailored to trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. That collaborative exploration may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy here offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can engage in care in the way that works best for their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, busy schedules, or when in-person appointments are not feasible, while still focusing on practical strategies and measurable steps toward wellbeing.
