Lisa Shifflett, LPC

Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to meet people where they are in life. Her work centers on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions often look like focused talk about thoughts and everyday habits, with practical steps to try between meetings. She listens for patterns that make daily life harder and helps people test small changes to see what works. Lisa uses a mix of approaches depending on the concern. For someone coping with trauma or abuse she brings trauma-focused techniques, and for mood or anxiety struggles she often uses cognitive behavioral strategies. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods guide short-term goal setting and shifts in behavior. She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. That includes adjusting pace and goals so progress feels achievable. The therapist frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client's priorities lead the way. People who want concrete tools for everyday problems may find this practical style useful. Lisa can help with relationship patterns, parenting stress, work-related burnout, grief, and issues like ADHD or eating and sleeping concerns. If you want straightforward conversation and doable steps, she invites you to begin the process.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person needs right now, helping them feel heard and guiding sessions at their pace. It is useful for people wanting empathetic, person-focused conversation about life stressors and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches tools people can use between sessions to change unhelpful patterns like anxious thinking or sleep disruption.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way to increase motivation for change. It often helps when someone feels stuck about substance use, health habits, or making other life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can still include goal setting, thought-focused exercises, and follow-up tasks that support everyday habit change.
