Lisa May, LPC

Lisa May is a licensed professional counselor with 18 years of therapy experience. She is down to earth and straightforward in session. Lisa helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting strain, anger, bipolar challenges, and major life changes.

She draws on simple, practical methods that fit everyday life. Sessions focus on clear goals, realistic steps, and skills people can use between meetings. Lisa listens closely, reflects what she hears, and works with each person to find approaches that make sense for their life.

Her background includes many years in social work before moving into private practice. She practiced in Kentucky and later relocated to Tennessee, where she continued counseling individuals with mood concerns, grief, trauma, and substance issues. This long-term experience informs how she balances problem-solving with emotional support.

In therapy she may combine client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral exercises and mindfulness skills. She also brings elements of Jungian thought and solution-focused planning when those fit a person's needs. The result is practical help aimed at improving day-to-day coping and relationships.

People who reach out can expect a calm, steady presence and straightforward feedback. Lisa values small steps that lead to real change and helps people build tools to manage hard days and move toward clearer goals.

Approaches and online support that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathic, nonjudgmental listening and helps people clarify their own goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then tailor a plan that blends listening, skill building, and short-term problem solving. Clients are involved in choosing what to try and adjusting it as they go.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practices and tools learned in session during their normal routines, which can help turn new skills into lasting habits.
