About Lisa
Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience based in Arkansas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, depression, trauma and abuse, and changes in life roles. Her work also addresses anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping after difficult events.
She began in community services across settings such as geropsychology, hospice, and inpatient psychiatry. That background shaped her familiarity with mood and personality concerns and later work with people affected by domestic violence. She has experience working with aging-related issues and caregiver stress.
Her clinical style emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach. She also draws on Client-Centered methods, Mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused elements to meet specific goals. Sessions typically combine practical skill-building with discussion of patterns that keep problems going.
Clients can expect straightforward, skills-based work aimed at changing thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. She also uses mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Lisa’s background includes forensic child interviewing and many years responding to people in community mental health settings.
She practices full time in private practice and responds to messages five days a week. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness as primary tools. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments, which helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.She also uses Client-Centered approaches that focus on listening and responding to each person’s concerns. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; she will discuss goals and preferences and adjust techniques to suit what the client needs and wants to work on.
The practical benefits of remote work depend on the formats offered by her practice. The biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use strategies in the context of daily life. Licensed professionals often adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and motivational interviewing questions for remote use to keep work concrete and focused.
