About Lisa
Lisa Godwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 23 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, mood disorders, stress and anxiety, and addictive behaviors. She also addresses trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and seasonal affective disorder.
Godwin has practiced in multiple clinical settings and has offered individual, couples, group, and family therapy over her career. She has helped people coping with depression, anxiety, and life changes. She has worked with clients who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and with those managing addiction and ADHD symptoms.
Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing. In session she emphasizes direct conversation, practical skills, and clear steps to address the problem at hand. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of relating.
She has particular experience supporting caregivers with young children through Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), working with caregivers and children ages 2 to 7 on behavioral and emotional challenges. That work involves coaching caregivers in moment-to-moment interactions to improve behavior and connection.

How her clinical approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, clarifying concerns, and building goals together so clients guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior. In sessions clients learn concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) combines skill teaching with attention to strong emotions; it offers tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal interactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift or new challenges appear.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking because they are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Remote work can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and discuss real-life situations that come up during the week. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to remote work while keeping the focus on practical strategies and measurable progress.
