About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, eating and body image issues, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting and related life changes.
She works with individuals who need practical, concrete help managing symptoms and making changes. Sessions are aimed at noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing different responses. Lisa uses methods that emphasize active skill practice rather than long, abstract discussion.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and emotionally focused techniques. That combination supports clearer thinking about thoughts and behaviors while also paying attention to emotional experience. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit a person’s goals.
In session she focuses on short, actionable steps. That may include tracking patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and practicing communication skills. People often leave sessions with specific tasks to try between meetings.
She takes a straightforward style with attention to identity and social context. That includes attention to LGBT-related stresses and to the practical impacts of trauma and life transitions. The emphasis is on skills that help day-to-day functioning and relationships.
How Lisa uses practical approaches online
Lisa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and problematic habits by breaking larger problems into concrete steps.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen to what matters most to the person and to shape goals around their priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to name and work with strong feelings that affect relationships and personal coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match current goals and preferences, adjusting tools as needed over time.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals offer remote sessions for many kinds of practical skill-building and emotional work, and Lisa will focus on exercises and steps you can use between meetings.
