About Lisa

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 18 years of clinical experience. She offers steady, nonjudgmental support for people facing painful life changes. Her work often focuses on trouble with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and addictions.

She meets each person where they are and builds a trusting therapeutic relationship first. Sessions emphasize listening and practical steps that fit the client's life. Lisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

She also uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people slow down, name their experience, and rewrite difficult stories. When relationship stress is present she applies techniques from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Treatment plans are shaped around what a person needs and wants to work on in the moment.

Lisa has supported individuals, couples, and family members through divorce, adoption and foster care issues, fertility struggles, and end-of-life concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, body image worries, work-related burnout, and challenges related to mood disorders and ADHD.

Her style is practical and compassionate. She aims to make sessions feel like a steady place to sort out next steps. To begin, readers are invited to select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and making the therapist-client relationship the base for change. It helps people feel heard and decide on goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. This helps ensure sessions stay relevant and useful to everyday problems.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose a quieter or more comfortable setting for talking, or opt for audio-only if video is not desirable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
