Dr. Lisa Jennings , LCSW, LICSW

Dr. Lisa Jennings is a licensed social worker practicing in Alabama and Texas who brings nine years of experience supporting adults through major life transitions. She holds the LCSW credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and the LICSW credential - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - which reflect advanced training in clinical social work and independent practice across care settings.

Her practice emphasizes grief and loss, family caregiving, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and the stresses that come with aging and caregiving roles. She also works with clients on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. In addition to clinical counseling, she offers coaching-oriented support for clients navigating practical and emotional challenges.

Dr. Jennings approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them identify strengths and resources to meet the challenges they face. She frames the therapeutic relationship as collaborative - supporting clients as they take the often difficult step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Her background in both clinical work and caregiver-focused services informs a compassionate, practical style aimed at meaningful progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Lisa Jennings uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship where the client's goals and lived experience guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and supported as they explore personal values, strengths, and next steps for change.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem-solving around life transitions.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that support emotional regulation and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Jennings works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those balancing caregiving, work, or mobility challenges. Clients can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
