About Lisa
Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.

She has experience with domestic violence and supporting people affected by trauma and abuse. She is also familiar with personality and mood presentations and caregiver stress.
In practice she emphasizes steady communication and responsiveness. She works full time in independent practice and checks messages five days a week. Clients can expect direct feedback, goal-oriented sessions, and tools to use between meetings.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals and concerns. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to set their own pace for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and depression because it teaches practical skills to test negative thoughts and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity to stress and support healthier day-to-day routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods over time. Clients often try tools from more than one approach to see what fits best.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text messaging makes it easy to send shorter updates between sessions. These options help people fit care into work, school, or caregiving routines and make it simpler to keep continuity over time.
