Jennings uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting space and listen closely to each person’s needs.
How Lisa works
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of reacting. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Her background includes nine years of clinical experience and licensure as an LCSW and LICSW in Alabama and Texas.
That experience includes work with caregivers, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life-change challenges. In sessions she keeps language plain and practical.
People can expect collaborative planning, skill practice, and tools to manage stress and make decisions. The focus is on what helps most in day-to-day life and in moments of grief or burnout.

How therapy approaches adapt to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and understanding each person's goals. Online sessions keep that same emphasis by giving space to tell your story and set priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; in online sessions this often means reviewing thought records, testing small behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and can include short guided practices during a video call or audio exercises sent between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily challenges, and then suggest methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made or life circumstances change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for frequent, brief touchpoints and can fit into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical routines while using the approaches above.
