About Lisa
Lisa Godwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 23 years of experience in counseling. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, anger, stress, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and more. She speaks English and practices using several well-known therapeutic approaches.
Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings where she provided individual, couples, group, and family therapy. Over the years she has helped people struggling with addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and life changes such as reintegration after military deployment. She also notes experience with seasonal affective disorder, infidelity, and jealousy.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit. These approaches are used to help people manage anger, improve relationships, reframe unhelpful thinking, and build practical coping skills.
Lisa has experience working with caregivers and their young children through Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for ages two to seven when parents report behavioral or emotional challenges. She aims to make therapy a conversational process that focuses on clear goals and usable skills rather than labels.
Her style is interactive and direct. People can expect straightforward talk about goals, hands-on techniques to try between sessions, and regular checks on progress. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy places the client’s experience at the center of conversation. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping goals together to address concerns like anger or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reactions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for rethinking triggers, adding DBT skills for managing spikes of anger, or using client-centered conversation to set priorities and check progress.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone or video options can make it easier to attend during a work break or keep appointments when schedules change, and the therapist will discuss which arrangement best supports the client’s goals.
