My clients are often accomplished people — professionals, parents, caregivers — who are good at managing everything for everyone else and have quietly stopped taking care of themselves. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and the kind of burnout that doesn't come with a visible cause. If you're in the Beachwood or east Cleveland area, or anywhere in Ohio via telehealth, I'd love to connect.
My ideal client is someone seeking therapy to better understand themselves, gain clarity, and create meaningful change in their current life experience. They may be navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or difficulties with motivation. Their goals often include enhancing overall well-being and developing effective, healthy coping strategies that support lasting growth.
I bring over 13 years of experience in the mental health field, working with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio.
I am Lisa Kirby, a therapist with over 14 years of experience working in a variety of clinical settings. I am dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisor Designation (LPCC-S) and an Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (IMFT) in Ohio. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults, and I specialize in relational work with couples and families.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), I work with adolescents and adults. My clinical focus is treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, adjustment disorders and personality disorders. My therapeutic approach is integrative and strength-based, incorporating Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral and Psychotherapy.

Are you someone who is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about navigating life’s challenges? Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, questions about gender/identity, or lingering effects of past experiences. Or perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself or others, struggle with self-doubt, or find it challenging to manage your emotions in a healthy and balanced way. As a licensed Psychologist at Psychworks Clinic, I provide therapy using interventions grounded in research and best practices.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Cincinnati, OH
Searching for couples therapists in Cincinnati starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling may support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. As you compare Cincinnati marriage counselors, look for therapists with training that matches your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, may be strong fits for relationship-focused care.
In a mid-size market like Cincinnati, you may find local therapists with offices near areas like downtown, Clifton, Hyde Park, or surrounding neighborhoods, along with virtual options across Ohio. The right match also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, preferences, and goals. Review appointment availability, session format, therapy approach, and whether a therapist offers a brief phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their work with couples and what a first session may look like.
Couples therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check whether your plan is accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can browse couples therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
