About Lisa

Lisa Kelbaugh is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and problems with self-esteem and motivation. Her approach is warm and straightforward.

She encourages people to take the first step and recognizes that reaching out takes courage. She builds a calm space where people can talk through hard things without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and stronger coping skills rather than long lists of labels.

Background and approach

Lisa pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current struggles and uses that insight to guide change. Lisa blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas. She also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to help people find energy and direction.

This mix lets conversations stay personal while also producing concrete habits and skills. Typical concerns she helps with include grief, anger, sleep problems, career shifts, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and adjustment after major life events. Lisa also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, aging, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and family-of-origin patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. In online sessions this means talking about connection, trust, and how you relate to others, then trying new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often uses short practice tasks between sessions and clear goals to measure progress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend strategies that fit your situation. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a face-to-face feel matter. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text are good for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or when a written record of ideas is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while still focusing on meaningful change.
