I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with many years of experience in providing therapeutic support to individuals, couples, and families. With a Master’s degree in Christian Counseling from Cairn University, I specialize in using scientific evidence-based models like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), within a Biblical framework. I am a doctoral student at Liberty University pursuing a PhD in Psychology with a concentration in Developmental Psychology.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings including: Safe Harbor Christian Counseling, Life Counseling, Anxiety & OCD Center, The Peacemaker Center, and private practice. I stay current with the latest developments in the field by participating in ongoing professional development and training. I'm an active member of APA and AACC, and regularly engage in classes and conferences.

In my private practice, I focus on client-centered therapy, and evidence-based practices, using Christian psychology to help clients navigate life’s challenges and achieve their goals. In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples, marriage and family relationship therapy. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, fostering personal growth and healing.

At the heart of my practice is my faith in Jesus Christ. The Vine~Lisa McCartney Counseling is a reference to John 15:5 Scripture; “I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” To remain steadfast in our faith in who God is in the midst of our suffering in this world may be our greatest challenge, but in doing so, will determine the outcome of who we become.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis, jogging outside to my favorite tunes, a good cup of coffee, and planning adventurous trips to take with my family. I enjoy reading books and make a point to read up on current psychological research and effective therapy which enrich my perspective as a counselor.

I am dedicated to supporting my clients in their journey toward mental wellness and I look forward to partnering with you in exploring your potential for growth, healing, and self-discovery.
