About Lisa
Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life stresses.
Background and approach
Her tone is straightforward and calm, aimed at someone reading on a phone and looking for real answers. She meets each person where they are and starts by hearing what matters most.
Therapy is shaped around the issues you bring, whether that is trouble sleeping, problems with intimacy, parenting challenges, or coping with change. Sessions aim to clarify what you want to change and to find simple steps you can try between meetings.
Lisa mixes methods to fit the person and the problem. She uses client-centered ways to listen and build trust, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift thoughts and behaviors, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the work.
Mindfulness and narrative tools are added when helpful to manage stress and reframe difficult stories. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.
People can expect straightforward questions, space to tell their story, and concrete strategies to practice. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.
Lisa also helps with a wide range of related concerns, including addiction, ADHD, family origins, divorce, foster and adoption issues, body image, and career worries. She aims to help people build skills they can use long after sessions end.
Approaches to relationships and everyday stress online
Lisa uses a few clear therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work. The Gottman Method focuses on identifying patterns in relationships and teaching practical skills for communication and conflict management. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building trust so clients can explore their feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as progress is seen. This means sessions often mix approaches to match what the person needs on any given day.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat or text-based messaging works for brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or a busy schedule while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
