About Lisa
Lisa Tolliver is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of clinical practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and career or intimacy-related struggles. She also supports those managing ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her work includes care for people in the LGBT community and those coping with process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behavior. Her approach blends Narrative Therapy with Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives.
Background and approach
She helps people tell the stories they carry and notice long-running patterns that shape feelings and choices. Sessions typically involve looking at recent problems and the life events that feed them, then trying out different ways of understanding and responding.
Tolliver has particular experience with neurodivergent clients, including people diagnosed with autism or Asperger syndrome and those who are exploring where they fit on the spectrum. She also has work history supporting those with chronic or invisible illness and people affected by food allergies. These areas often involve practical problem solving alongside emotional work.
A further area of focus is first responder and military-connected concerns, including police, firefighters, emergency department staff, and veterans. Her background includes family ties to the military, which informs her familiarity with that lifestyle. Therapy can address stress reactions, relationship strain, and the search for meaning after intense experiences.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled from Kentucky. Lisa uses a mix of therapeutic lenses to match each person’s needs and goals, and she works collaboratively to find what helps in daily life.

Online session options
How Narrative and Emotion-Focused Work Online
Lisa combines Narrative Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in online sessions to help people rethink stories that keep them stuck and to strengthen how they connect with emotions. Narrative Therapy looks at the ways personal stories shape behavior and mood, and helps people name alternative plots that better match their goals. EFT focuses on understanding and working with strong emotions, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and intimacy-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to see which methods feel most useful and adjusts over time based on needs and goals. The process is exploratory and tailored, with the person’s preferences guiding which techniques are used.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expressions and emotions more easily. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, written processing, and flexibility across different time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
