About Lisa

Lisa Tolliver is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, intimacy concerns, career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy in her work. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past patterns affect current relationships and choices. She helps people name difficult feelings, notice recurring stories about themselves, and try different ways of relating.

Lisa has particular experience supporting people who are neurodivergent or who suspect they are on the autism spectrum. She also works with people who have lived long-term outside their birth country and who struggle with cultural fit or feeling unrooted. These concerns often show up as anxiety, identity questions, or trouble with intimacy.

Her practice includes work with those facing chronic and invisible illness, including functional neurological disorder and food allergy challenges. She pays attention to the strain of appearing fine while coping with ongoing symptoms and helps people find practical ways to manage emotional and relational fallout.

Lisa also brings long experience with first responder and military-related issues. Her background includes contact with police, firefighters, military, and emergency medical staff, and she uses that experience to address stress, trauma-related reactions, and career-related strain in those roles.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions in close relationships and learn new ways of responding to those feelings. It is often used for intimacy issues and for reducing reactive patterns that cause repeated conflict.

Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It supports people facing life transitions, midlife concerns, career crossroads, or grief by clarifying values and personal priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences and then choose whether to emphasize EFT, existential, narrative, or psychodynamic methods. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as immediate concerns shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists commonly adapt techniques used in person to virtual sessions so core therapeutic work can continue when meeting remotely.
