About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Jennings is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

With nine years of practice and licensure in both Alabama and Texas, she brings experience working with caregiving challenges, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and compassion fatigue. Her background also includes professional coaching to help clients clarify goals and build practical coping strategies.

She works from a collaborative, client-centered stance that recognizes each person as the expert on their own life while offering structure and tools when helpful. Lisa integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness practices to help people identify unhelpful thoughts, learn new behavioral skills, and increase present-moment awareness.

Clients can expect a supportive professional who emphasizes strengths, practical problem solving, and steady guidance through transitions. Therapy with Lisa is aimed at helping individuals regain balance, manage stressors, and pursue meaningful change.

She offers multiple online session formats and uses a subscription model that can be adjusted or canceled according to availability and client needs.

Approaches and Online Care to Support Change

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's own goals and lived experience at the heart of work together, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and reflective support to help clients explore what matters most and build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness through gentle practices that help reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, which can be useful for coping with grief, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance means techniques are adjusted over time so the work remains relevant and practical for the client's life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy or changing routines. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or work while working through career concerns, life transitions, grief, and stress.
