About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.
Lisa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on identifying emotions that are hard to name and on changing recurring patterns that cause distress. She draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice their reactions and try new ways of relating.
In practice she talks through specific problems in short, clear steps. That can mean mapping a hot moment in a relationship, practicing a calming skill for panic, or breaking down a worry into manageable tasks. She encourages practical changes clients can try between sessions and checks what worked at the next meeting.
Her stated areas include body image, eating concerns, abandonment and adoption-related issues, caregiver stress, and addiction. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, dissociation, and responses to natural or human-caused disasters.
Lisa describes her approach as person-centered and goal oriented. People can expect a mix of understanding what they feel and concrete strategies to reduce distress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name difficult emotions and the patterns those feelings create. In brief, EFT focuses on interactions and the emotional signals that shape them, which can be useful for relationship patterns and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses listening and reflection to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, behaviors, and practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic and often includes small experiments to try between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying an approach, checking how it lands, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or choosing a phone visit when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals often use these practical options to keep therapy manageable alongside other commitments.
