About Lisa

Lisa Kelbaugh is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 14 years of professional experience to her work. Lisa focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

She speaks English and uses practical strategies to help people manage day-to-day struggles. She keeps sessions simple and direct. Lisa creates a calm space where clients can talk through hard things without judgment.

Background and approach

She uses clear, doable steps that fit into busy family lives. Her style is warm and steady rather than rushed or clinical. Lisa draws from several evidence-informed approaches.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce stress and improve sleep.

She also blends client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to support personal goals. This helps when clients need encouragement to try new behaviors or make changes. Lisa aims to match techniques to each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Lisa often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current reactions. This approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques are added to help lower stress and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools over time so therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. These options make it easier to attend from home or between errands. They also allow ongoing support when life gets busy, while keeping the focus on clear steps and steady progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
