About Lisa
Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and anger among other concerns.
She has substantial experience supporting people through divorce, loss, parenting strains, and mood challenges. Lisa also addresses issues such as addiction, ADHD, intimacy struggles, and career-related stress. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care matters, blended family problems, and fertility or end-of-life concerns.
Her approach centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship first. She uses client-centered skills to listen and understand what matters most to each person. From there she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and practical patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness exercises and narrative techniques are part of how she helps people change how they relate to their thoughts and feelings. She also integrates tools from the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are a focus, and solution-focused strategies for setting concrete, short-term goals.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Lisa matches methods to a person’s needs and preferences, and helps break larger problems into manageable steps. People who want clear skills for handling anger, improving communication, or coping with life shifts may find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says. Online sessions can preserve that kind of focused, person-led conversation and let the therapist follow your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thought and behavior patterns. CBT works well in structured online sessions where you can set targets and track progress between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy adds short attention and breathing exercises to help manage strong feelings and stress in the moment. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences early on and adjust techniques as needed. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching methods to what feels most helpful for you. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use written summaries, worksheets, and recorded exercises between meetings to practice new skills in everyday life.Areas of focus
