Lisa Godwin , LPC

Lisa Godwin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 23 years of experience in the counseling field. She has provided individual, couples, group, and family therapy across a range of clinical settings, working with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, addictions, ADHD, and the stresses of military life such as deployment and reintegration. She has also supported many clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and collaborates with clients to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person or family. Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, and she brings particular experience in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for caregivers and children ages 2 to 7 who are managing behavioral or emotional challenges.

Lisa works with issues including family and parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, stress, relationship and intimacy matters, trauma and abuse, addictions, seasonal affective disorder, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes empowerment and practical support so clients can take the steps they need toward a more fulfilling life, offering guidance and encouragement throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Lisa integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a strong option for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors techniques so therapy fits each person or family rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with Lisa offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to engage in regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the agreed service area.
