About Lisa
Lisa Tolliver is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 25 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people in the LGBT community and those navigating career or life-purpose questions.
Her work pays attention to how early family patterns shape current behavior. She helps people notice repeating roles, expectations, and closeness patterns that started in childhood. Sessions focus on understanding those patterns and finding practical ways to change them over time.
Tolliver uses approaches that look at emotions, stories, and deeper relationship patterns. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help identify and work with strong feelings. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to consider alternative ways of seeing events.
She also integrates psychodynamic and existential ideas to consider how past experiences and life meaning influence present choices. That mix supports work on identity, intimacy, and the effects of being neurodivergent or having lived abroad.
Her background includes extensive clinical work with people who identify as neurodivergent, those with chronic or invisible illness, and first responder and military-connected individuals. People who want to address family of origin issues, process addiction, or midlife re-evaluation often find this focus useful when they prefer a reflective, emotion-oriented approach.
Approaches for online work on feelings and life stories
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at core emotional responses and how they shape relationships and intimacy. In short sessions this helps identify patterns of feeling that keep repeating and opens options for different emotional responses. Narrative Therapy treats problems as separate from the person and focuses on the stories someone tells about their life. Online sessions using narrative ideas can help rewrite unhelpful stories about identity, family roles, or career choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize emotional processing, story work, or exploration of past patterns during sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer video when they want face-to-face interaction; others choose phone for a quicker, lower-bandwidth meeting. The practical aim is to match session rhythm and format to everyday life so therapy can be sustained alongside work, caregiving, or other routines.
