    About Lisa

    Lisa Godwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with 23 years of experience in counseling. She greets people with a warm, interactive approach and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for change. Lisa focuses on practical steps that help people move forward from difficult moments.

    Her background includes work across many clinical settings, including individual, couples, group, and family therapy. Over two decades she has helped people with depression, anxiety, addictions, ADHD, relationship strains, traumatic experiences, and parenting challenges. She also addresses anger, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and stress related to life transitions.

    Lisa uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing to shape sessions. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than following a single script. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on practical skills and goals.

    She pays attention to issues like infidelity, jealousy, and Seasonal Affective Disorder when they affect daily life. Lisa emphasizes respect and sensitivity, avoiding stigmatizing labels, and supports people as they take steps toward a more satisfying life.

    If someone is ready to begin, she encourages an initial match and scheduling step so the work can start in a way that fits that person's goals.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online care

    Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by focusing on their own reasons and goals. It’s often helpful when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure where to start.

    Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client. It supports people who need space to clarify values and priorities.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress is made.

    Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel needs so sessions can fit into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to maintain regular check-ins and practice skills between sessions. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available online options before booking to make sure they match personal needs.
