My name is Lisa Walker. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have been in the field professionally for over six years. I enjoy utilizing the therapeutic models to include, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I began my career in the field of mental health and human services in 1997 after obtaining my Bachelor Degree. I have found the helping discipline very rewarding over the years. My years of experience of working in the community as a social worker and now as a therapist has provided the opportunity to observe and understand the various dynamics that life offers one from need and challenges to accomplishment and triumph. In my experience in working with diverse populations I am able to genuinely offer sympathy and empathy without compromising the therapeutic relationship. Our society today is in search of helpers who can relate, adapt and show genuine care. It is important for clients to feel safe, respected and understood when addressing their needs. Through my therapeutic approach I provide an environment of freedom and safety without judgement.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I have worked as a licensed therapist over the past 9 years providing individual and family therapy as well as couple therapy in various settings including telehealth. I have worked with individuals (adolescents, adults, men & women) with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit, bipolar, anger management problems, marital/relationship issues, parenting problems, sexual problems, and career concerns. These problems often cause major disruptions in our daily life. My approach is often solution focus, client and holistic centered but I also can use other approaches to cater to the person’s needs. I believe that it is very important to look at the whole person (environment, family, medical, financial, etc.) instead of just the presenting problems. I like to take a nonjudgmental, caring, and respectful approach to help the person navigate through their journey and learn how to cope with their daily life stressors by using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focus Therapy, and Reality Therapy. I know taken the first step to seeking therapy is big and anxiety invoking but if you take the first step, I will take the rest of the steps with you. I look forward to working with you soon.
