About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Jennings, LCSW, LICSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Alabama with nine years of experience. She helps people facing grief, caregiving stress, career concerns, anxiety, depression, and the strain of life changes. She also works with issues related to aging, hospice and end-of-life care, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions look at current problems and the habits that keep them going. She uses straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and skills practice so people can try new ways of responding between visits.
Dr. Jennings draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people pause and observe how they react to stress. These approaches are used together to address symptoms and daily functioning rather than as abstract concepts.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. People can expect clear goals, short-term strategies, and work to apply what they learn to real-life situations like caregiving routines or workplace stress. The focus is on practical steps that can be adjusted as progress is made.
Her background includes work with family caregiving and hospice-related concerns, and she brings that experience into conversations about aging and end-of-life planning.

Using CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness online
Dr. Jennings uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that add to anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT sessions focus on specific patterns, try small experiments, and teach skills to use between meetings.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and goals. That approach means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on practical steps they want to try. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people become aware of automatic reactions and to create short pauses before responding to stress.
Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. She and the client will decide together whether to emphasize CBT exercises, reflective client-centered conversations, or mindfulness skills based on the client's goals and daily life. This collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting methods over time.
