About Lisa

Lisa Early is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 12 years of experience. She practices in South Carolina and North Carolina and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, grief, and life changes.

She frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps that build on existing strengths. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and trying small changes that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Lisa also offers coaching-style support when people want actionable goals alongside therapy work.

Her work often addresses issues linked to abandonment, communication problems, forgiveness, isolation, and social anxiety. She also supports people navigating life purpose questions, multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and women’s issues. Post-traumatic stress and grief are areas she has experience with as well.

Lived experience and identity questions, including LGBT concerns, are included in her practice. Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means she helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then tests new ways of responding. English-language sessions are offered, and she accepts international clients.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

How Cognitive Behavioral Work Translates to Online Sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and tracking results over time. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and social anxiety.

Alongside CBT, Lisa offers coaching-oriented techniques that break larger goals into practical steps. That approach emphasizes clear action items, short experiments, and reviewing progress each session to see what helps most.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client review current needs, preferences, and goals and choose methods together. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what feels most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video, phone, or other supported formats when those options are available, which helps match sessions to everyday routines without promising a particular service.
