About Lisa
Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 34 years of experience. She practices from Georgia and has worked in mental health, addiction, and life coaching settings. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and career questions.
Her work is practical and direct. She uses clear conversation to identify what is getting in the way and which steps might help. She says she will not solve problems for clients but will help them gain tools and a different mindset to manage challenges.
She has long experience with addiction and reentry after incarceration, so she understands the practical obstacles people face when restarting their lives. She also supports people with parenting concerns, intimacy issues, grief, and bipolar mood concerns. LGBT issues and communication or control problems are part of her regular caseload.
Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used to address patterns of thinking, behavior, and emotional response in straightforward sessions.
Lisa emphasizes respect, honesty, and sensitivity in sessions. She says she is willing to be direct when needed and that faith or spirituality can be part of the work if the client wishes. The first meetings focus on clarifying goals and practical next steps.
To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches map to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce reactivity and build steadier responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that feed anger or anxiety, and it often uses practical homework between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and pacing, giving clients room to set the agenda and explore what matters most to them.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then use that feedback to guide which approaches are emphasized. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also offers options like skipping video when bandwidth is limited or choosing a format that best fits a work break or home schedule. Licensed professionals can use these practical choices to help keep therapy sustainable alongside daily life.
