Lisa Spears

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to relationship and career questions. Her approach aims to create a calm, steady place to start talking and figuring out next steps.

She helps people who are coping with painful life changes like divorce, grief, or loss. Lisa also supports those managing mood disorders, substance concerns, and stress related to parenting, family changes, or work. She pays attention to each person's priorities and practical needs.

Lisa draws on several well-known methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative approaches, and principles from the Gottman Method. She uses these tools in straightforward ways - helping people notice unhelpful thinking, rehearse new behaviors, and tell clearer stories about their lives.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Lisa focuses on building trust first, then setting realistic goals. Sessions tend to be solution-focused when people want short-term help, and more exploratory when deeper issues need attention.

Over time she helps clients identify small changes that add up. That may mean improving communication, managing strong emotions, finding work-life balance, or developing coping strategies for ADHD and stress. Lisa encourages people to try things even when they feel afraid, and to measure progress in everyday life.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Lisa uses client-centered methods that focus on understanding each person’s experience and priorities. That approach means the session starts with the client’s concerns and builds from there, which helps when adjusting goals or pace online.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice patterns of thinking and try out different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress at work or home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will help figure out what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change over time.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing transit time so clients can use breaks more easily. Online visits can also make it easier to keep brief check-ins when life is hectic. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here, and plan sessions around what works best for daily routines and goals.
