About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Jennings helps people facing grief, caregiver strain, stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those working through self-esteem issues, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She values a respectful, down-to-earth approach and encourages clients to use their own strengths as the starting point for change.

Jennings holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and has nine years of professional experience in social work practice. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s goals lead the conversation. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be tried between meetings and reviewed together.

Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. That experience informs how she supports people coping with loss and long-term stress. She blends emotional support with tools to manage day-to-day demands.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people set small, achievable goals. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices. These are explained in simple terms so clients know what to try and why.

People who contact her will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Payment uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and exact costs vary by location and therapist scheduling.

How her approaches guide online support

Client-Centered Therapy helps people lead the conversation about what matters to them. The therapist follows the client's priorities, listens deeply, and helps shape goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and a plan that fits their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into manageable parts and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and situation-based problems like caregiving burnout.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to bring attention to the present moment. Those practices can reduce reactivity and improve coping with grief, stress, and compassion fatigue. Mindfulness tools are often paired with other approaches for day-to-day relief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will explain options, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking because format details are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and permit shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to virtual sessions so progress continues between meetings.
