I appreciate Lisa because she is a great active listener and takes notes on the things I ask for help with. In the very first session she identified my need for parenting guidance as my primary issue for support because I desperately want and need grief therapy but didn’t feel I could focus on my grief. This was big for me.

I love to camp, read and spend time with my family and friends. I have been married for 35 years and have 2 sons. I have one granddaughter with whom I love spending time. I am an animal lover with 5 dogs and 2 cats.
I started on my journey in 2004. I have always been fascinated by the human mind. I decided to return to school after both my boys were grown. I graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Hollins University. I worked as a preschool teacher for several years then decided I wanted to help those who suffered from depression, anxiety and other behavioral/personality disorders.
I graduated with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University in 2014. I completed my internship at LewisGale Behavioral Health and worked there for several years. While working at LewisGale I decided to open my own practice closer to my home. There is an urgent need for counselors in my area.
My main modalities of treatment are mindfulness, CBT and solution focused therapy. With this focus I have seen growth and stability with my clients. We all have the tools for good mental health. We just need someone to help us discover them. I have found from personal experience that when you have a purpose in life you can achieve anything you put your mind to. My passion is to help those with issues of anxiety, depression and behavioral problems achieve wholeness and happiness through counseling. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help.
Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.

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.

Lisa has been a big help to me and she’s always easy to talk to. I’m glad I kept looking for a therapist suited for me. She always has things for me to try or advice on how to deal.
Lisa is very understanding and supportive during our sessions
Lisa has been very helpful at normalizing the things I am going through and helping me recognize all of the things I carry that add to my stress and anxiety. She validates the concerns that I have and helps me to brainstorm ways to better manage the things I am going through. I highly recommend her as a counselor!
❤️ love my therapist
Lisa is very easy to talk to. My frustration with a counselor I had years ago was every week I felt I had to start all over because she never remembered. Lisa is amazing remembering or having a system that allows me to continue on forward week after week without having to repeat from previous sessions. I would highly recommend Lisa.
I have been working with Lisa for a couple months on stress management, motherhood, and prioritizing myself. She helps me to feel heard and validates how I am feeling; she listens to my needs and helps me feel less alone in my experiences. She really is a great counselor!
Miss Lisa is an awesome counselor
Professional & respondsive
Lisa is very kind, supportive, and understanding. She’s helping me to try new ways of coping with my anxiety in a safe way. I’m already realizing things about myself after only a few sessions. Highly recommend.
Lisa has been very helpful in just the short time I've worked with her. She listens to my concerns, and helps me to find constructive ways to meet my goals. Her check-ins between session are also helpful to keep me on track!
Lisa is an excellent listener, she always gives explanations about my behaviors patterns and follow up on every decision I am making to overcome my own struggles.
Lisa is an amazing councilor. She is always trying to show different perspective which is really good. What I really appreciate is that she sharing her own life experience which makes her like a real person and a friend. Thank you Lisa
Lisa has been very supportive and helpful. I find working with her extremely helpful in my current situation.
