About Lisa

Lisa Kelbaugh is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and life problems. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build skills that fit their daily lives.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Lisa uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early connections shape current relationships and reactions. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person’s goals.

Cognitive behavioral strategies are used when clients want clear tools for managing thoughts, mood, and behavior. Her background includes supporting people through grief, caregiving stress, chronic health concerns, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, impulsivity, and career direction.

This range comes from years of varied clinical practice and ongoing professional learning. Sessions are offered in English and conducted by phone, video call, live chat, or text-based messaging. Starting is straightforward: complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Lisa blends attachment-based thinking with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques to meet different needs. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with relationship difficulty, caregiving stress, and attachment issues. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities, creating room for clients to set goals and move at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust plans based on what helps. This collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let you maintain visual connection for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style checks and quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on practical progress.
