About Lisa
Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She offers straightforward support for parenting concerns, relationship and communication problems, and coping after trauma or loss.
She centers sessions on what matters most to each person. Lisa blends practical, action-oriented work with time to understand patterns behind feelings. Many clients use concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with emotional regulation and stress relief. Her background includes work across hospice care, inpatient psychiatric settings, geriatric mental health, and services for survivors of domestic violence. This range shaped a practical approach to complex problems like personality and mood disorders, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns.
She also has experience with forensic child interviewing and working in military-related settings earlier in her career. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that add up over time. Lisa uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find internal reasons to change, and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-term patterns when helpful.
Solution-focused strategies are used to identify strengths and build on them. People who want direct, responsive care often appreciate her style. She maintains regular communication five days a week and works from a independent practice in Arkansas.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through a mix of online formats.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on each person’s strengths to guide recovery. Together, these approaches let her tailor sessions to your goals and needs. She works collaboratively to decide which methods to use and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or easier ways to fit therapy into a busy day.
