About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, and life transitions.
Lisa uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle patterns that keep repeating from childhood or family of origin experiences. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps identify small, practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear goals rather than jargon or long lectures.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the client brings, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that feed distress. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to build motivation and find concrete changes that fit daily life.
Lisa pays attention to issues like attachment and abandonment, blended family stresses, parenting strain, caregiver fatigue, body image, and communication problems. She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career stress, ADHD, and bipolar mood concerns. These topics often connect back to early family patterns.
People who meet with Lisa can expect practical conversation, goal-setting, and short-term strategies when useful. She asks about current routines and obstacles so suggested changes are realistic. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the concerns a person brings and reflecting what matters most to them. In practice this means sessions emphasize listening, clarifying values, and shaping goals that feel relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building a person's own reasons for change and reducing ambivalence about next steps.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will talk with each person about what they want to work on, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to prioritize and how quickly to move between them.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to practice exercises between sessions in the settings where problems occur. Licensed professionals generally adapt worksheets, behavioral experiments, and conversation-based methods to work well over distance, and Lisa uses goal-focused strategies that translate to those formats.
