About Lisa
Lisa Tolliver is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, career concerns, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT-related questions. Her practice also addresses concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, family of origin issues, and several process addictions.
Over her career she has worked with people facing first responder and veteran issues, and with those who feel out of place after long periods living abroad. She has supported people dealing with chronic and invisible illness, including functional neurological disorder and food allergy challenges. Lisa draws on many therapeutic perspectives to respond to whatever someone brings to a session.
Her approach includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at feelings and attachment patterns to clarify how emotions shape relationships and behavior. She also uses Existential, Narrative, and Psychodynamic ideas to help people find meaning, reframe stories about themselves, and notice repeated life patterns. Sessions focus on naming emotions, tracing patterns, and trying small shifts in how people relate to themselves and others.
People can expect straightforward conversation, reflection, and work aimed at practical changes they can try between sessions. Lisa combines long clinical experience with attention to the specific stresses of first responders, global workers, and neurodivergent clients. She welcomes international clients and conducts work in English.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about identifying and shifting how emotions and attachment patterns affect relationships and personal choices. In online sessions this can mean naming difficult feelings, tracking interaction patterns, and practicing new ways of responding in real time. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, freedom, and responsibility; it helps people facing life transitions, midlife questions, or the strain of chronic illness to clarify values and choices.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasise EFT, existential work, narrative reframing, or psychodynamic reflection as the work unfolds.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people work from wherever they are living now, which is useful for global workers and those who move between locations. Licensed professionals generally adapt techniques so emotional work and practical exercises translate to a remote setting.
