About Lisa

Lisa Henthorn is a professionally licensed counselor (LPCC, LCMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in West Virginia and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, and anger among other issues. Lisa writes plainly and addresses real-life problems people bring to therapy.

Her sessions focus on clear skills and practical steps. She uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are part of her approach when they fit someone’s goals.

Lisa favors straightforward conversation and skill-building over long theory talks. She helps people break big problems into smaller tasks. That can mean setting short goals, tracking reactions, and rehearsing new ways to respond to triggers.

Her background includes a Master’s degree from Lindsey Wilson College earned in 2017. Over the past seven years she has worked with mood disorders, PTSD, personality disorders, and adjustment challenges, adding experience with communication, motivation, and confidence issues.

Clients can expect sessions that aim to identify patterns and test practical changes between meetings. Lisa supports work on boundaries, managing strong feelings like anger, coping with caregiver stress, and improving sleep and eating routines. The focus is on what a person wants to change and the small steps that help get there.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit everyday life

CBT helps people notice and test thoughts that lead to strong emotions. It focuses on practical exercises and behavior changes that reduce reactivity and improve problem solving. DBT teaches skills for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for someone who wants concrete tools to tolerate distress and change patterns that lead to frequent arguments. Mindfulness therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and body signals. It can help reduce automatic reactions and increase calm when frustration rises. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods collaboratively, adjusting what is used based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which skills to practice between sessions. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person session would be harder to schedule. Ask about available session styles when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your routine.
