Lisa Rich

Lisa Rich is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of clinical experience in West Virginia. She has worked across many settings, including private practice, inpatient hospitalization, in-home counseling, residential programs, agencies, and crisis services. Lisa emphasizes listening first and building a strong therapeutic relationship as the core of her work.

She helps people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also addresses stress, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and life transitions. Lisa lists coping with life changes and ADHD among her focus areas as well.

Her style is gentle and collaborative, but she will offer honest challenges when they serve the client. She blends practical skill teaching with conversational reflection so people can try new ways of handling problems. That includes learning coping strategies and tools to manage mood, impulsivity, and difficult reactions.

Lisa uses a variety of approaches and prefers to match methods to each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to build trust, and on cognitive and behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and motivational techniques also appear in sessions when they fit the goals.

Clients who want straightforward, personable support may find her approach welcoming. She aims to help people build skills that make daily life more manageable and to support them in working toward goals that matter to them.

Approaches that inform online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and responding to each person's goals and pace. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong reactions and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is often part of the first few sessions. Lisa will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in real-life routines and follow up more consistently with homework or between-session tools.
