Lisa Shifflett, LPC

Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues like ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is practical and respectful. She adapts conversations and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are aimed at helping clients find clearer thinking, build confidence, and develop workable coping strategies for daily life.

Lisa draws on a mix of therapy styles depending on the need. She uses client-centered practices to prioritize the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and trauma-focused work for those recovering from abuse or traumatic events. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people move toward concrete change.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance and an emphasis on practical steps. Lisa emphasizes collaboration and encourages people to set goals that feel achievable. The tone in sessions tends to be warm, direct, and focused on helping people take next steps toward a more manageable life.

Her experience includes a wide range of concerns such as grief, eating or sleeping problems, intimacy difficulties, parenting stress, career strain, and a variety of attachment and family-related issues. People looking for steady support through transitions may find her style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and preferences, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathic listening and reflection to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their concerns, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration may mean trying different techniques over time and adjusting based on what feels most effective for the client.

Specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions or when routines are disrupted, while the therapist uses the chosen therapeutic approach to keep work focused and goal-oriented.
