Lisa Kirby

I am Lisa Kirby, a therapist with over 14 years of experience working in a variety of clinical settings. I am dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisor Designation (LPCC-S) and an Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (IMFT) in Ohio. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults, and I focus in helping individuals better manage their anxiety through mindfulness and coping strategy development.

Areas of Focus

In our work together, we will focus on key areas designed to promote lasting well-being:

• Building Coping Skills: Developing practical strategies that work in your daily life to manage stress and challenges.
• Understanding Patterns and Emotions: Gaining deeper insight into your emotional landscape and behavioral patterns.
• Strengthening Communication and Relationships: Improving how you connect with others and navigate your relationships.
• Creating Realistic, Sustainable Change: Establishing achievable goals that lead to long-term, positive shifts in your life.

I offer a collaborative, practical, and tailored approach to therapy. I draw from evidence-based approaches while keeping our sessions casual and relatable. My goal is to work with you to create meaningful change in a way that feels comfortable and natural.

The first appointment is a chance for us to simply get to know each other. We’ll start by reviewing paperwork and answering any initial questions you might have about the process. The majority of our time will be spent with me learning about your history, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This foundational conversation helps me understand your unique context. By the end of our session, we will begin to set collaborative, realistic goals for our work together, ensuring we are focused on creating the change that is most important to you.
