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 therapy across a range of clinical settings, offering individual, couples, group, and family work that addresses challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, military lifestyle transitions including deployment and reintegration, addictions, and ADHD. She has also supported many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels when working with clients. She draws on a variety of approaches - including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work - tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the specific needs of each person. She also offers specialized Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for caregivers and their children ages 2 to 7 who are facing behavioral or emotional challenges.

Lisa focuses on empowering clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling life, meeting people where they are and collaborating to develop practical skills and clearer paths forward. She is accepting clients and brings decades of experience to support families, individuals, and couples through change and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Godwin integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and a collaborative relationship, helping people feel understood and supported as they explore their values, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works together with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. That collaborative process guides how sessions are structured and which skills are emphasized.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, access support from home, and stay consistent with treatment. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches effectively to remote formats, allowing clients to practice new skills and receive guidance in ways that suit their lifestyle.
