About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and sleep problems. Lisa aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion from the first conversation.
She works in a direct, practical way and tailors sessions to each person's needs. That can mean talking through reactions to trauma, building tools to manage mood, or finding better ways to handle work and family stress. She also helps with relationship issues, grief, parenting strain, and concerns about eating and body image.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas guide short-term goal setting and momentum.
Lisa emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then offers strategies that fit the person’s life and strengths. Progress is usually about trying out new approaches between sessions and checking what helps.
Many people come for help after a big life change or when patterns have built up over time. Lisa will work with each person to set clear, achievable goals and adjust the plan as things change.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities and involves listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what matters most. This helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort out feelings and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It breaks problems into small, testable steps and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and unhelpful habits by practicing new behaviors between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when motivation is low or when someone feels stuck about making decisions or breaking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited over time so the plan fits what actually helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone continue work on sleep, mood, or coping skills from wherever they are, with sessions focused on practical strategies and homework tailored to daily life.
