Lisa Thompson

I’m Lisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Sciences and my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern Mississippi. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to provide a comfortable and supportive environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and respected.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll create a unique toolbox of practical skills that can help you recognize your strengths, manage difficult emotions, and cope with life’s challenges. I want to create a supportive space where you can work toward meaningful and lasting change.

1. During your first session, my goal is to help you feel welcomed, comfortable, and heard. We’ll take time to develop a deeper understanding of your life, personal background, family history, and the experiences that have shaped you. We’ll also discuss what brought you to therapy, identify your needs and strengths, and begin setting goals for our work together.
