About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and low self-esteem. Lisa focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel more able to manage daily pressures and difficult feelings.
Her approach centers on clear conversation and active listening. Sessions are grounded in client-centered work that keeps the person’s priorities first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help clients find the reasons they want change and to make small, doable plans. Solution-focused techniques are brought in to set immediate goals and track progress in concrete ways. Trauma-focused methods are available for people processing past harm.
Lisa aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people break problems into steps and practice skills between meetings. Topics she addresses include relationships, grief, parenting stress, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
People often come to work through life changes such as separation, adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, or caregiving stress. Lisa also supports those dealing with body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems. Her work is focused on what the client wants to change and how to reach those next steps.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s concerns and priorities through listening and reflective conversation. That style helps people clarify what matters most and decide concrete next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for reducing anxious or stuck patterns. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past harm in ways that reduce triggers and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust them as progress is tracked.

Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows use of worksheets, in-session skill practice, and goal tracking that fit into everyday life without requiring a particular location.
