About Lisa
Lisa Godwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 23 years of experience. She has worked in a range of clinical settings and with many different concerns, including anger, depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting problems, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and stress-related issues.
Her background includes individual, couples, group, and family therapy in prior roles. She has helped people facing military lifestyle challenges such as deployment and reintegration cycles, and she has supported caregivers and young children through Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for ages two to seven.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Conversations aim to surface patterns, test new ways of responding, and build skills to handle anger and related concerns.
She describes a direct, interactive style that treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. Work together focuses on setting achievable next steps, practicing new responses, and tracking progress over time.
People who come looking to reduce snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, repair trust after infidelity, or build steadier mood control may find her approach practical and straightforward. If you decide to start, the initial steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves listening carefully, reflecting what matters most, and shaping work around the client's goals. This approach helps when anger shows up with relationship or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills for reacting differently in heated moments. CBT is useful for workplace anger, rumination, and mood shifts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills are helpful when strong feelings lead to snapping or repeating patterns that cause regret.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. Expect ongoing discussion about which tools are most useful for your situation.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so work and family obligations are easier to manage. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises for remote sessions and coach practical skills that transfer into daily routines.
