About Lisa

Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and questions about identity. She works with clients on issues like eating concerns, self-esteem, addiction, grief, and coping with life changes. Her style aims to be warm and affirming for LGBTQ people and others navigating difficult transitions.

She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s goals in view. Sessions focus on practical steps for daily life - changing unhelpful thoughts, building better habits, and improving communication. Lisa combines talk-based work with mindfulness and skills practice so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.

Over 16 years of practice, she has helped people manage panic, process traumatic events, untangle relationship patterns, and explore sexual identity. She pays attention to body image, parenting challenges, and caregiver stress when those come up. Her approach is adaptable to each person’s needs and pace.

Lisa emphasizes collaboration. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps set achievable goals. Clients can expect a calm, straightforward tone and a focus on building resilience and self-compassion.

People who want to start are invited to use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule. Sessions follow the therapist's availability and use the program's subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches and online work fit together

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own path forward; it is useful when someone wants an accepting space to talk through identity, grief, or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, panic, and daily habit changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and patterns in relationships and can be helpful when working on communication and intimacy-related issues.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Many people use a mix of approaches to get tools for thinking differently, feeling more grounded, and improving interactions with others.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone meet without needing to be on camera. The focus is on making therapy practical and workable for everyday schedules, while tailoring methods to each person's needs.
