Lisa Shifflett, LPC

Lisa Shifflett is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation. Lisa also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction-related struggles, and difficulty coping with life changes.

She approaches counseling in a straightforward, person-focused way. Conversations and the plan for sessions are shaped around what the client brings. Lisa uses practical tools to help people notice thoughts and habits that make problems harder to manage and to try small, manageable changes.

Sessions often involve short-term goals and focused tasks. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to break problems into steps. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying their reasons to change and staying on track.

For people carrying shame or guilt from past actions, Lisa pays attention to how those feelings affect everyday choices. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when a history of abuse or loss is part of the picture. Work in session centers on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and practicing different ways of responding to hard moments.

Her style is direct and respectful. Conversations aim to be clear and practical, with concrete next steps between meetings. People who want measurable changes and a collaborative plan often find this approach useful.
