Before establishing her practice in Tennessee, she spent time in private practice in Kentucky and gained additional experience in social work. That background contributes to a broad perspective on family dynamics, parenting, blended families, caregiving stress, and issues tied to adoption and foster care.

She values joining clients on their journeys toward greater stability and resilience, watching them build healthier relationships and more satisfying lives. Lisa’s commitment to therapeutic work is long-term and steady, reflecting a deep enthusiasm for supporting people as they move toward brighter futures.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lisa May

Lisa May integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, supportive relationship in which the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work - it is well suited for those seeking greater self-understanding and stronger interpersonal connections. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can assist with trauma responses, anger, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adapt strategies and combine approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief support is available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals around work, family, or geographic constraints while maintaining continuity of care and momentum toward recovery.
