About Lisa
Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience in clinical and community settings in Arkansas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, grief, parenting pressures, career challenges, depression, trauma and life changes. Her focus includes practical problems like communication, control issues, and co-existing mood or personality concerns.
She has worked in geriatric psychology, hospice care, inpatient psychiatry, and with survivors of domestic violence and people alleged to have committed harm. She has experience with military-connected adults and children and is trained as a Forensic Child Interviewer. That background guides how she listens for safety, risk, and immediate needs.
Lisa describes her general approach as behavioral, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a main method. She also uses mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps to change unhelpful behaviors and on manageable skills to reduce reactivity.
She often helps people look at how thoughts and situations keep anger and resentment active, and then works with them to practice alternatives. Therapy can include short-term problem solving and longer work on underlying patterns when that is useful. Her practice aims to be steady and responsive during the week.

How Lisa’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and distress active. CBT sessions focus on practical experiments, short behavioral changes, and skills for managing strong reactions. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside CBT to develop attention and calm, teaching simple practices people can use when they feel irritated or flooded.Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Lisa will talk with the person about what feels useful and try methods that match their goals and daily life. She adjusts the plan as the person tries techniques and reports what helps or does not help.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions that focus on practicing a single skill. Licensed professionals, including Lisa, can guide people in adapting tools from CBT and mindfulness to the routines where anger shows up most.
