About Lisa
Lisa Tolliver is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, LGBT concerns, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, career questions, and life purpose concerns. She also has clinical focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality traits, family of origin issues, first responder and veteran issues, and process addictions.
Over decades in practice she helps people who feel out of step with expectations at work or home. Sessions involve talking through current problems, looking at how relationships influence feelings, and identifying patterns that keep someone stuck. She aims to help people notice what matters to them now and consider smaller steps toward change.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, narrative work, existential thinking, and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions may look at emotional experience in the moment, the stories someone tells about themselves, questions of meaning, and how past relationships shape present reactions. These methods are used to address grief, intimacy challenges, chronic stress, and questions about life purpose.
She has worked with people connected to military and emergency services and understands pressures those roles bring. Her background also includes long experience supporting people with chronic or invisible illness and those who identify as neurodivergent or are exploring where they fit on the autism spectrum.
People starting with her typically complete some intake questions, discuss goals, and plan next steps together. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns in emotional responses. Online sessions using EFT tend to pay attention to how feelings show up in the moment and aim to help people communicate needs more clearly in relationships. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. In remote sessions this can include reviewing current narratives, separating problems from identity, and drafting alternative stories that open practical choices about work, relationships, and life purpose. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide whether EFT, narrative, existential, or psychodynamic framing fits best for the issues at hand. That choice is based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what emerges in early sessions. Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time for people juggling work, caregiving, or irregular shifts. Those practical benefits often help people keep regular appointments and apply what they discuss to day-to-day decisions.Areas of expertise
