Lisa Henthorn, LPCC, LCMHC

Lisa Henthorn is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Lisa holds a Master’s degree and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work in West Virginia.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what hurts and try out new ways of coping. Lisa emphasizes building skills for emotion regulation, improving communication, and managing attention and motivation challenges like ADHD. Sessions often include goal-setting and short, hands-on exercises to practice between meetings.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practice, and solution-focused techniques. Those methods are used to reduce overwhelming thoughts, improve moment-to-moment coping, and move toward clear, achievable goals. Lisa adapts these approaches to each person’s situation rather than using a single fixed plan.

Clients work together with Lisa to set priorities, from sleep and eating concerns to career and parenting stress. She also addresses issues such as attachment wounds, codependency, and forgiveness in straightforward terms. The aim is to help people notice what’s working, try something different, and make steady progress.

Lisa is licensed as an LPCC and an LCMHC and practices in West Virginia. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.

How her approaches shape online care

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions that change mood and behavior. CBT often focuses on short exercises and homework that can be practiced between sessions to build new habits.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical communication techniques that can be practiced in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Lisa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most. That collaborative decision-making is part of the work from the first sessions onward.

Because the original biography does not specify session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting care into busy days, reducing travel time, and keeping regular appointments during work or parenting breaks. Online sessions can make it easier to use short skill-practice between meetings and to maintain consistency while life is changing.
