About Lisa
Lisa Tolliver is an LPCC with 25 years of clinical experience who centers her work in emotion-focused and depth-oriented therapies. She integrates emotionally-focused, existential, narrative, and psychodynamic perspectives to help people explore values, relationships, and patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Her training and long practice support an approach that values emotional clarity alongside narrative meaning and unconscious influences. Her practice attends to a broad range of life challenges including career strain, compassion fatigue, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise and pornography use.
Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, family of origin issues, life purpose and midlife crises, as well as issues faced by veterans and those connected to the armed forces. Lisa works with clients who identify as LGBT and supports those navigating the particular stresses associated with those identities.
Based in Kentucky, she offers therapy that draws on years of clinical work to tailor treatment to individual needs. Her style combines empathy with thoughtful exploration of personal stories and emotional experience to foster clearer priorities and more adaptive ways of relating to self and others.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift patterns in close relationships by revealing and responding to core emotions, which can be useful for intimacy issues and attachment-related stress. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and invites clients to re-author those narratives so problems feel less central to their identity. Existential Therapy explores meaning, freedom, and life choices to help clients navigate uncertainty, midlife questions, and struggles with life purpose.Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and then adapt methods from EFT, narrative, or existential work as needed. This flexible, exploratory stance allows treatment to evolve as needs and priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. Video calls allow for face-to-face connection, phone sessions provide a simpler alternative when video is impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility while allowing licensed professionals to apply emotionally focused and narrative techniques in ways that fit each client's life.
