Lisa Montgomery

Lisa Montgomery is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship or identity concerns. She creates an affirming, compassionate space where people can talk about painful experiences and take practical steps forward.

Lisa centers sessions on the person sitting across from her. Conversations focus on what matters now and what change looks like for each individual. She listens closely, helps sort immediate priorities, and offers practical tools to manage strong emotions like panic, shame, or anger.

Her work combines person-centered listening with structured techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness. That means clients will both explore feelings and learn skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when someone wants help setting goals or making a change.

Over 16 years in practice, Lisa has supported people through trauma, eating and body-image concerns, substance-related problems, parenting stress, and career or life transitions. She often helps clients rebuild self-esteem, navigate relationship patterns, and cope with compassion fatigue.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood. Online sessions still center on the person’s own goals and lived experience, with the therapist following the client’s lead to uncover what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In a virtual session, clients can learn thought records, behavioral experiments, and brief exposures to reduce anxiety, anger, or negative self-talk.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. It uses guided conversation to clarify values and boost motivation, which can be effective through scheduled online meetings just as in person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what isn’t working.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. Discussing what works best for scheduling and the session length can help integrate therapy into everyday life.
