About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, and concerns around identity and relationships. She works with adults on issues like body image, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and changes that feel overwhelming. Her sessions are warm and direct.
She listens first and then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent, and practical steps are tried between meetings.
Background and approach
Lisa blends client-centered work with evidence-informed techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and emotionally focused strategies to improve communication and connection. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit a person's goals.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about coping skills, emotion regulation, and problem solving. Lisa aims to boost self-esteem and strengthen day-to-day routines that reduce overwhelm. She also supports people processing trauma and grief at a pace that feels tolerable.
After an initial intake, she collaborates on a plan that matches each person's needs. Sessions may include skills practice, reflective exercises, and short homework to try between appointments. Lisa brings 16 years of experience to help people move toward more steady functioning and clearer choices.
Approaches for online work and practical help
Lisa often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are. That approach focuses on the client's priorities and supports self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that feed anxiety and low mood.The right approach is something to discover together. She discusses different methods early on and collaborates with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, comfort level, and pace. That shared decision-making means plans are adjusted as progress continues.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video lets people work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth or focus is limited. Messaging and live chat work for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a shorter format fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other routines.
