About Lisa
Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She often works with clients dealing with trauma, body image and sexual identity concerns, and those navigating adoption and foster care related issues. Lisa writes and speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make the work feel practical and manageable.
Her style is warm and person-focused. She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns, name feelings, and try small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions tend to focus on skills for coping, communication, and building self-compassion. Lisa encourages action between visits so progress continues outside the therapy hour.
Over 16 years of practice shape how she balances listening with active problem solving. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. When helpful, she adds cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress and reactivity.
Lisa also incorporates emotionally-focused ideas to help with relationship concerns and motivation-focused conversations to support change around habits or addiction. She aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her rather than use a one-size-fits-all method. People meet her as a calm, practical collaborator for the work they want to do.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in Kentucky. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s priorities first. In practice this means the therapist follows what matters to the client, listens closely, and shapes sessions around each person’s goals and values. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of big feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, often short exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood over weeks to months.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change interaction patterns that fuel distress. It is useful when relationship dynamics or intense emotions keep getting in the way of connection and trust.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback and try different strategies until a good fit is found.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited and options that reduce the need to rearrange a whole day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in an online setting.
