About Lisa

Lisa Henthorn is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what is hard and start taking small steps toward change. Lisa holds LPCC and LCMHC credentials and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.

Her style is direct and practical. She listens closely to what a person is facing, then uses simple tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions often focus on problem-solving skills, building routines, and learning strategies to lower day-to-day stress.

Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build healthier behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Solution-Focused Therapy shapes many meetings by keeping goals small and achievable. That approach is useful when someone wants faster relief or clear next steps for a specific problem. Lisa can also address concerns such as ADHD, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, body image, caregiver stress, and parenting strain.

Clients can expect straightforward talk and practical homework between sessions when helpful. Lisa aims to support each person’s pace and to build skills that fit real life. She is based in West Virginia and conducts her work in English.

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness translate online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing them through small, practical experiments and behavior changes. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by giving clear steps to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills help people manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve relationships in daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting. That can reduce rumination and make stress feel less overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness fits their needs and goals. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, support steady homework practice, and reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, or let someone use audio instead of video if that feels easier. Discussing how sessions will fit into daily life is part of the first meetings with a licensed professional.
