About Lisa
Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career concerns.
In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the person. She uses practical, goal-focused methods and helps people notice patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
She blends straightforward strategies with mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and build better coping skills. Her background includes community mental health settings, inpatient psychiatry, hospice, and geriatric work. She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and with people involved in forensic interviews.
That range gives her experience with mood and personality issues and the stresses that come from caregiving and serious illness. Her main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, paired with client-centered and solution-focused methods. She aims to make sessions concrete and useful, with steps people can try between meetings.
Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she helps people understand what drives their behavior. Lisa practices in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English. She treats each person with direct, steady support and focuses on helping them find practical ways to manage emotions and improve daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns while helping them set their own goals. It is useful for people who want a supportive, collaborative process to work through anger, relationship stress, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through practical exercises. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with stressful situations because it gives concrete tools people can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness. Those techniques can help people notice triggers and choose different responses over time.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and will adjust methods together with the client. That collaborative process helps pick strategies that fit daily life.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer more flexibility for brief updates, check-ins, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
