Lisa Rich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years of experience in a variety of care settings. She has worked in private practice, inpatient hospitalization, in-home counseling, residential programs, agencies, and many crisis environments. Lisa aims to build a steady, trusting relationship and listens carefully to each person who comes to her for help.

She helps people facing addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and family conflict. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, mood disorders, and major life changes. Lisa works with issues such as panic, impulsivity, ADHD-related struggles, and substance misuse without promising quick fixes.

Her approach adapts to the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods that focus on the client's own goals and experience. She also brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions.

Sessions often include practical skill-building. Lisa teaches coping strategies, grounding skills, and step-by-step tools people can try between meetings. She describes herself as gentle in style but willing to challenge when it helps a person move forward.

Her work draws on decades of hands-on practice across settings. People who value steady listening, clear skill coaching, and a collaborative plan for change may find her approach fits their needs. She practices in West Virginia and conducts sessions in English.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, letting the conversation follow what matters most to them and building a strong working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and hands-on, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes to feel and function better. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for people who struggle with intense feelings and impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and helping people schedule appointments around work or caregiving. It also lets therapists assign and review practical exercises between meetings, so skill-building continues outside session time. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools to match each person's day-to-day needs.
