About Lisa

Lisa Kelbaugh is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of professional experience. She supports adults facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges, and she also works with clients on motivation, self-esteem, and building confidence. Lisa creates a warm, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly, and she collaborates with each person to identify realistic goals and practical steps forward.

Her approach emphasizes listening and understanding first, then tailoring strategies that fit an individual’s life and priorities. Lisa recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage, and she honors that first step while offering steady support as clients explore difficult emotions and make changes. Whether someone seeks relief from overwhelming worry, help processing traumatic experiences, or guidance in improving relationships and parenting, she aims to provide thoughtful, compassionate care that meets each client where they are.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Kelbaugh integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet each client's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection formed in relationships and helps clients explore how early attachments influence current bonds and emotional responses - it can be helpful for relationship concerns, parenting, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and working at the client’s pace so individuals feel heard and are supported in finding their own solutions - this approach suits people seeking acceptance and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood challenges, and it often includes exercises to build coping strategies and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the client.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to deliver structured, supportive therapy that aligns with a client’s needs and routine.
