About Lisa
Lisa Rich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 26 years of clinical experience. She has worked across settings including private practice, inpatient hospitalization, in-home counseling, residential programs, and crisis services. Lisa lists concerns she works with such as depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, and guilt and shame.
Across her career she has supported people facing a wide range of problems. That includes mood disorders, panic, PTSD, substance use concerns, and struggles with identity and relationships. She also addresses specific challenges like abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and first responder stress.
Her approach blends several practical methods. She uses client-centered listening as a base, alongside cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas. Lisa says she matches her style to what each person needs rather than using one fixed method.
In sessions she emphasizes building rapport and clear communication. She describes herself as a careful listener who interacts gently but will offer challenge when it helps progress. The focus is on learning coping skills and tools people can use day to day.
People seeking help for parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, impulsivity, or midlife transitions will find those topics included in her scope. She notes experience with disruptive mood dysregulation, dissociation, bipolar presentations, and personality-related difficulties among her practice areas.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people feel understood and shapes the work around their concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns contributing to anxiety, depression, or guilt. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can reduce impulsive reactions and intense mood swings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and what fits their day-to-day life. That collaboration helps decide whether more CBT techniques, DBT skills training, mindfulness practice, or narrative work will be emphasized.
