About Lisa

Lisa Henthorn is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and grief. She is available to talk through relationship and parenting concerns, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Lisa aims to make the first step feel more doable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations center on practical steps people can try between meetings. Lisa uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help rethink unhelpful patterns. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused methods to build coping skills and set small goals.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to name what is hard and to plan change. Lisa listens for specific patterns like avoidance, black-and-white thinking, or trouble regulating emotions. From there she helps design simple strategies for daily life, such as short behavior experiments, emotion regulation exercises, and clearer communication techniques.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and licensure as an LPCC and an LCMHC. She practices from West Virginia and provides services in English. Lisa describes therapy as a collaborative process where people set the pace and focus.

People coming for anger concerns will work on identifying triggers, practicing new ways to respond, and building routines that reduce reactivity. The approach blends short-term solutions with skills that support longer-term stability and better relationships.

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Can Work Online

Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple experiments and homework that can be tracked between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. In short sessions people practice emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to reduce outbursts and improve day-to-day functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase awareness of thoughts and bodily signals. Short mindfulness exercises help slow down reactions and create space to choose responses instead of acting on impulse.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they shape a plan that may mix CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to fit the person's needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the specific options before booking. Online work still focuses on learning and practicing skills, tracking small changes, and finding ways to make new habits stick in everyday life.
