About Lisa
Lisa Godwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 23 years of experience. She works with people who bring concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting and family stress, relationship problems, anger, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy. She also focuses on infidelity, jealousy, and seasonal affective disorder.
Her background includes work across different clinical settings where she provided individual, group, and family therapy. That practical experience shaped a straightforward, interactive style. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on skills people can use between meetings.
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches. She also draws on mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, change reactions, and try new behaviors.
In sessions she talks through problems and practical steps rather than relying on labels. She helps people set clear goals and practices simple skills in session that can be applied at home. Progress is checked regularly so plans can be adjusted.
Her work has included supporting caregivers with parent-child interaction concerns for young children, and addressing emotional or physical trauma. Lisa aims to be direct and collaborative when identifying which strategies fit a person’s situation.

How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps and practice tasks that can be done between meetings to change patterns that cause distress.She also uses client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and reflecting to help people clarify goals. That approach supports deciding what to work on together and setting practical targets. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful when stress or conflict feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
The biography did not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain regular work on skills and reduce barriers to attending sessions.
