Lisa Kennedy, LCSW

Lisa Kennedy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arkansas with 19 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, parenting, self-esteem, career issues, depression, and coping with life changes.

She describes herself as a behavioral therapist who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary approach. She also draws on client-centered work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused practices. That mix guides practical conversations about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Much of her background includes community-based services. She has worked in geriatric psychology, hospice, and inpatient psychiatry. More recently she has worked with domestic violence survivors and people described as alleged offenders, and has experience related to military-connected adults and children. She also has training as a forensic child interviewer.

Her experience includes working with personality and mood concerns and with aging and marital issues. She mentions familiarity with challenges such as abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, blended family issues, and divorce or separation. She lists work with cancer-related stress and co-morbidity too.

In practice she aims to apply behavioral techniques and CBT alongside mindfulness and solution-focused work. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes between meetings. She works in private practice and communicates regularly with those who reach out.
