More about Lisa

  • LCSW

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee. I accept clients who reside in the Easter Standard Time Zone only, and I do not provide evening appointments. I received my Bachelors of Social Work degree from East Tennessee State University, Johnson City and my Masters of Social Work degree from University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with a concentration in Clinical Practice. I am a seasoned therapist of approximately 25 years. My areas of practice expertise include treatment for depression, anxiety, healing from childhood abuse, marriage and couples therapy and Christian/Spiritual counseling. I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Intelligent Behavioral Therapy, Spiritual Behavioral Therapy, Solution -Focused Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. I operate from a "the glass is half full" perspective and believe we are never beyond learning from a place of hope.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I didn’t know what to expect for my first session. Lisa made me feel so comfortable talking to her and she was so easy to talk to. After the session, she shared additional information for me to review to help as well. I’m looking forward to our next session.

I came to Lisa Cox and BetterHelp in the midst of one of my most depressive episodes since high school. Lisa is incredible — she listens to me, understands my concerns, and works hard to empathize and offer insight. Lisa's help with my self-talk and self-discovery has led me to find my truest self, and subsequently made me more content and confident than I've ever been. Having affordable, virtual, easily-accessibly mental healthcare and a counselor that values my beliefs, priorities, dreams, and goals has made all the difference in my life.

She is amazing. I have nothing but positive feedback.

Lisa has been very helpful in getting me going in the right direction with my life, in the specifics, cultivating my intelligence when it comes to dating. The majority of us men has learned to love ineffectively from what we have perceived to be love in prior relationships that wasn't love in the least bit. Lisa is slowing gaining the confidence in myself to date again without the fear of more wasted time & meaningless relationships. She's GREAT, Thanks Lisa as we continue.
