About Lisa
Lisa Shifflett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation concerns. She also addresses anger, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges connected to parenting and career changes.
Her practical style centers on clear conversations and straightforward skills. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing different ways of responding. She uses approaches that help people notice thoughts and actions, set small goals, and build safer ways to handle distressing memories or fears.
Clients can expect an emphasis on what helps in day-to-day life. That might mean practicing new ways to talk with others, working on routines for sleep and eating, or learning short skills to reduce intense feelings in the moment. Progress is practical and measured by what a person can do differently between sessions.
Lisa incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Client-Centered therapy to keep the discussion focused on the person’s priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want clearer steps and quick changes.
She works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and histories of abandonment or adoption. People who want direct conversation and usable tools for anger, stress, or life transitions may find her approach fits their needs.
Approaches used online and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting what has been said, and shaping sessions around what the person wants to work on. This approach helps when someone needs a place to sort through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to test unhelpful thoughts, change behaviors that keep problems going, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. CBT is useful for stress, mood changes, and habit patterns.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It uses targeted questions and feedback to strengthen motivation and set realistic goals. Combined with solution-focused techniques, it helps break issues into small, achievable steps.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits each person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as goals change.
