About Lisa
Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, parenting strain, relationship and family challenges, and major life changes.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central approach, paired with mindfulness and client-centered work. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful patterns and test new ways of coping that fit each person's life.
Her background includes work in geriatric mental health, hospice, inpatient psychiatry, and services for survivors of domestic violence. She has experience with caregivers, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, and several personality and mood-related issues.
Sessions emphasize building strengths, improving communication, and pacing change so people feel more in control. She also incorporates motivational interviewing to help people find and use their own reasons for change.
Lisa currently practices in Arkansas and maintains a full-time private practice. She communicates with people during the workweek and aims to respond consistently to messages five days a week. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site process to match with her and schedule an initial visit.
How these approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and body sensations without judgment and can reduce reactivity to stress. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes by teaching short, practical attention exercises.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It works well for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving around relationships and parenting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting each person's goals so sessions feel collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those aims. Decisions about technique and focus are made together over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or save travel time. It also provides flexibility for people who need quieter surroundings or prefer not to use video for some visits.
