About Lisa
Lisa Godwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 23 years of experience. She brings a calm, direct style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work often addresses anxiety alongside stress, depression, relationship problems, and parenting concerns.
She has practiced in many clinical settings and has provided individual, couples, group, and family therapy. Over two decades she has helped people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with infidelity, jealousy, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are warm and interactive. She listens carefully, avoids labels that shame, and builds a plan with clear goals.
Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and small experiments to try between sessions. Lisa uses a blend of approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas. She adapts these tools to the concern at hand and to each person’s pace.
Her work with parents and caregivers includes hands-on strategies for parent-child interaction and behavior support. She helps people set boundaries, manage anger, and repair relationship patterns while keeping daily life and responsibilities in view. She welcomes people ready to take practical steps toward change and offers straightforward guidance to help them move forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions based on their own goals rather than the therapist's agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions; it can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. Sessions may blend techniques and are adjusted over time based on what is and isn’t working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, and for people who do better writing than speaking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy routines.
