About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy-related concerns, relationship and family strains, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Lisa aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them right now. Her style is straightforward and empathetic.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on small, practical changes that make daily life easier. Lisa draws on tools that clients can use between appointments.
Over 16 years of practice, she has used different evidence-based methods to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines. She mixes practical techniques with attention to feelings and relationships. That combination helps people learn new ways to respond to stress and to solve ongoing problems.
She uses client-centered work to focus on each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and emotionally-focused ideas to improve how people relate to themselves and others. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in sessions when useful. These approaches are chosen to match a person’s needs, not applied the same way for everyone.
Lisa offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Services are provided in English and are not set up for international clients. Licensing details are KY LPCC 104645.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist gives space for each person to say what matters, and choices in session are guided by the client’s goals. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting priorities or making decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions teach practical tools for noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new actions. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and changing patterns that make daily life harder.
Emotionally-focused ideas help people understand and shift how they relate to strong feelings and to others. This work can reduce shame and improve emotional connection, and it pairs well with skills-based approaches when relationships or intimacy are part of the concern.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try together. Plans are revisited so the work stays aligned with what is actually helping.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people meet from home, fit sessions around work or family time, and use shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises so they work well in each format, helping clients make steady progress on their goals.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
