Lisa Strube, lpc, cst

Lisa Strube LPC, CST began her journey at Mercer University, training as a Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling student. After working in the field for a few years, she discovered her true passion: sex therapy. She threw herself into the work and never looked back. Lisa has built her practice around shining a light on the sexual issues many clinicians struggle to address in the therapy room. She weaves together trauma, sexuality, and deep emotional connection. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, her work with EFT added another dimension, giving her an attachment framework that informs everything she does with clients navigating intimacy and pleasure.

Lisa is an AASECT Supervisor-in-Training for sex therapy and an ICEEFT Approved Supervisor-in-Training for EFT couples therapy. She is dedicated not only to her clients but also to growing the next generation of clinicians who do this work with courage, curiosity, and compassion.

Becoming a mother and living as a woman of color with a disability made her acutely aware of the important nuances she did not learn during her own certification process. That awareness shaped the kind of supervisor she is today: one who does not believe she has all the answers and who actively encourages supervisees to challenge her. Respectfully, of course.

Approach to Supervision:

Lisa approaches supervision through an attachment-based, multicultural, trauma-informed, and sex-positive lens. She values the systemic frameworks that illuminate the bigger picture, while also drawing on the practical tools that CBT and solution-focused therapy offer. One of the most powerful ways she works with use-of-self issues is experientially because she has seen firsthand, both in her clients and in herself, how much growth is possible when we are willing to sit in the discomfort of real experience.

Ultimately, her goal as a supervisor is not to hand supervisees a roadmap, it is to help them find their own footing and their own voice. Lastly, Lisa is the founder of a sexual wellness store, Lisa Jo’s Spot. This is her space dedicated to helping curious adults reclaim pleasure on their own terms and where clinicians can go deeper sexual trainings and other resources.
