Lisa Kennedy, LCSW

Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing relationship and parenting challenges. She also supports people coping with trauma, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, and major life transitions.

She uses a straightforward, behavior-focused approach and relies heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also draws from client-centered methods to make sessions collaborative and uses mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions in the moment.

Her background includes work in geriatric psychology, hospice care, and inpatient psychiatric settings. She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and with people involved in military-related services. She has experience with personality and mood disorders and with issues that come up around aging and blended families.

Clients can expect practical strategies and goal-oriented conversations. Sessions often include skill practice, thought pattern work, and steps to reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. Lisa aims to help people build strengths and find realistic ways to change day-to-day routines.

She works in independent practice and keeps regular communication with people who reach out during the week. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Lisa Uses Practical Approaches Online

Lisa relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on concrete steps and skill practice.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and working at the client’s pace. That approach helps people feel heard and take the lead on goals. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach short, simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and calm intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to pick the setup that best fits your routine and daily life.
