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, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and other life changes. Lisa lists blended family issues among her additional focuses, and she also addresses adoption and foster care concerns and intimacy-related topics.
Her approach starts with listening to what the client says is most urgent. She uses the therapeutic relationship to help people talk through painful experiences like divorce, loss, or difficult transitions. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with clear steps for coping and moving forward.
Lisa draws from several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered techniques that prioritize each person’s perspective. She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
In addition to those methods, Lisa works with solution-focused and narrative ideas to help people notice strengths and reframe stories that hold them back. She mentions the Gottman Method among her approaches for relationship work and includes mindfulness practices for stress and emotional regulation.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. Lisa often helps people break problems into small, manageable steps and track progress over time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How Lisa's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and working at their pace. Online sessions using this approach let the client lead the topics while the therapist reflects and helps clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT often uses structured conversation and short exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. The Gottman Method provides practical skills for managing relationship interactions and improving communication; it can be adapted into conversation exercises and skill practices during remote sessions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lisa will work with the client to identify what fits best based on current concerns, preferences, and goals. She adjusts methods over time and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can also use mindfulness practices and behavioral exercises in remote sessions to build skills between meetings.
