Lisa Tolliver , LPCC

Lisa Tolliver brings 25 years of clinical experience to her counseling work, supporting people through a wide range of psychological challenges including PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks, and bipolar disorder. She has developed focused expertise over the years that complements a broad clinical background.

Lisa maintains a particular commitment to the neurodivergent community, working with people who have been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome or autism as well as those who are exploring where they may fall on the spectrum. She also regularly supports global workers and third culture kids - people who were raised or who live long-term outside their country of origin and who may struggle with identity, belonging, or cultural conflict.

Chronic and invisible illnesses are another area of concentration, including functional neurological disorder and support for the food allergy community. Lisa understands the strain of appearing well while coping with ongoing health challenges, and she helps clients navigate those realities.

She is also experienced with police officers, firefighters, military personnel, emergency department staff, and other first responders, drawing on personal family connections to military life and a deep respect for the demands of those professions. Lisa is a Kentucky-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and applies her knowledge to help clients address stress, grief, intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, career questions, ADHD, depression, and related issues.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work and Healing

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and expressing core emotions to improve connection in relationships. In practice it helps clients strengthen bonds, address intimacy-related concerns, and navigate patterns that keep them feeling stuck in close relationships.

Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and life purpose, offering space to face questions about identity, midlife transitions, and how to live with greater authenticity. It can be useful for people wrestling with life purpose, grief, or the sense of being unmoored after cultural moves or major life changes.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, helping clients reframe limiting narratives and highlight strengths. This approach can support those coping with stress, depression, ADHD, or identity concerns by separating the person from the problem and opening new possibilities.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt approaches over time, tailoring work to what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone visits, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy or geographically dispersed lives. These options increase accessibility and allow continuity of care for clients who travel, live abroad, or have demanding schedules.
