About Lisa

Lisa Tolliver uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as a core part of her approach. She blends that with existential, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of painful feelings and awkward life transitions. Lisa has 25 years of clinical experience.

She offers straightforward, practical conversations aimed at reducing anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, naming what matters most, and finding workable next steps. She has developed a strong interest in neurodiversity and supports people who identify with autism or Asperger syndrome or who are wondering if they fit on the spectrum.

Background and approach

Lisa listens to how being different affects everyday life and helps people build strategies that suit their thinking and routines. Lisa also works with those facing chronic or invisible illness and people managing food allergies. She helps clients cope with the frustration of looking fine outwardly while feeling strained inside, and she helps create plans for pacing, communication, and self-care.

Her background includes many years working with first responders and veterans. That experience informs her understanding of stress that comes from high-demand jobs and from multiple moves or long deployments. In sessions she focuses on practical ways to manage symptoms, rebuild meaning, and reconnect with what matters.

Lisa is a Kentucky LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and holds a master’s level psychology credential. She offers sessions in English and sees clients in Kentucky and internationally via online formats.

Online support

Emotion-focused work and online options

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core emotions, then use those feelings to guide changes in relationships and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, grief, intimacy struggles, and when emotions feel overwhelming.

Existential Therapy invites people to examine meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. It can help when someone is questioning purpose, facing a midlife shift, or feeling lost after major life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, then suggest which methods might fit best. Together they try different ways of working and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and body language cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
