About Lisa
Lisa Rich is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience. She has worked across settings from independent practice to inpatient care and crisis teams. Lisa focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and trauma-related concerns.
She draws on practical approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. Lisa adjusts her style to match each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Her manner is gentle and attentive. She listens first, then helps people build skills that address immediate problems. When needed, she offers direct feedback and gentle challenge to promote change.
People come to her for help with mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stresses, ADHD, and substance use concerns. She also supports those coping with major life changes, abandonment or attachment issues, and first responder stress. Lisa emphasizes practical tools.
Sessions typically focus on learning coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and developing clearer thinking patterns. Over time the goal is better day-to-day functioning and more satisfying relationships. She provides services from West Virginia and conducts sessions in English.
Lisa aims to work collaboratively so people feel heard and leave with usable skills they can apply between sessions.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Lisa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which helps people manage intense moods and impulsive actions.She also brings a client-centered stance, which means she listens carefully and adapts methods to each person's goals. Figuring out the right mix of approaches is collaborative: the therapist and client review needs, try techniques, and adjust what isn't working together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is good for a full conversation and teaching skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging can support short updates, homework check-ins, or quick coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, and other demands while still focusing on concrete skills and progress.
