About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, body image and codependency. Sessions also address parenting strain, caregiving stress, ADHD, and issues related to sexual orientation.
Lisa focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in relationships. She helps people name those patterns and try small changes that reduce overwhelm.
Her work blends client-centered listening with structured tools. That might mean using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy to clarify feelings in close relationships. Mindfulness exercises and Motivational Interviewing show up when they help a person stay present and find motivation.
In sessions she emphasizes clearer communication and boundary practice. People often bring examples from home, work, or relationships and they rehearse new responses together. Practical homework and short skill-building exercises are common between meetings.
Lisa has a long history of helping people through life transitions, from separations and grief to recovery from substance use and domestic violence. She also supports those coping with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment issues, and aging-related concerns. She offers services in English from her Kentucky practice.
How sessions work
Approaches and how online sessions can fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective so they feel heard and can make their own changes. It helps when someone wants a collaborative conversation about identity, relationships, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and process strong emotions, which can improve how they relate to others and handle intimacy concerns.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to lean on CBT tools, EFT processes, mindfulness practice, or a mix of methods based on what the client hopes to change.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people try new communication skills between meetings and keep momentum while managing everyday responsibilities.
