01About Lisa
Lisa Tolliver is a seasoned counselor who uses emotion-focused and narrative approaches to help people untangle difficult feelings. She holds LPCC and brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions. Lisa works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
She also supports people navigating career strain, compassion fatigue, and identity questions including LGBT issues. Her work often centers on people who feel out of step with common expectations.
Background and approach
That includes those on the autism spectrum or with Asperger Syndrome, and people who have lived abroad or between cultures. Lisa listens for the patterns that make life feel stuck and helps name them so change becomes clearer. She has long experience supporting first responders, military-connected people, and veteran issues.
That background shapes a practical, respectful approach to recurring stress and trauma related to service roles. Lisa also brings focused attention to chronic illness and invisible health conditions, including the emotional toll of ongoing medical challenges. Therapy with Lisa typically mixes emotionally-focused interventions with narrative and psychodynamic ideas.
Sessions look at present feelings and the stories that make them meaningful. The goal is to help people shift what keeps them stuck and build more workable habits in daily life. Sessions are conducted in English and are available to clients in Kentucky and internationally.
Lisa offers several online formats to fit different needs and schedules. If someone wants a steadier map through painful feelings, she aims to provide steady, practical guidance.

04Online support
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work through strong emotions that interfere with relationships and daily life. In online sessions this means tracking emotional reactions in the moment and practicing new ways of responding to them. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives; work online will look at those stories, test alternatives, and build new narratives that fit better with a person's goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the mix of EFT, narrative, or psychodynamic ideas as therapy unfolds.
Online formats make regular work more practical. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework, and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options create flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles.
