Lisa Montgomery, LPCC

Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also works with clients on LGBT issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues.

She brings 16 years of experience to sessions and emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental tone. Conversations focus on the person's present needs and practical steps they can take. Sessions aim to help someone feel understood, reduce distress, and find clearer ways forward.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. She also uses emotionally-focused techniques and mindfulness practices when helpful. Those methods are woven together to match what each person needs in session.

In practice she helps people name their priorities, test small behavior changes, and improve communication. Work often includes coping strategies for panic or low mood, mindfulness exercises to manage stress, and guidance for relationship or identity questions. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People interested in starting with Lisa can expect an initial conversation about goals and preferences. That discussion guides which approaches are emphasized and what short-term steps make sense. Scheduling follows the site's matching and booking process.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers warmth and acceptance while helping clients clarify what matters most to them. This approach is helpful for identity questions, relationship concerns, and building trust in therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients learn skills for anxiety, mood, and coping with life changes through structured exercises and real-life practice.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and changing interaction habits. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then recommend one or a mix of these methods. Decisions about which tools to use are made together and may change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing care during life transitions and when juggling caregiver or work responsibilities.
