Lisa Spears

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them address stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and other life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward, focused on building trust so people feel comfortable talking about painful events like divorce, grief, and loss.

She draws on person-centered work to listen closely and tailor sessions to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to support relationship communication and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Sessions aim to identify practical steps someone can take between meetings. Lisa works collaboratively to set goals and try approaches that fit daily life. She emphasizes small, achievable changes that reduce distress and improve coping.

Her experience includes helping people with addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, mood disorders, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also offers support for adoption and foster care concerns, blended family challenges, fertility and end-of-life conversations.

How therapy approaches and online options can work for you

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. The therapist helps people name their concerns and guides conversations so clients feel heard and understood. It is useful for anyone who needs support sorting through strong emotions or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. This approach can help people develop new habits and cope with stressful situations.

The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and managing conflict in relationships. It teaches skills for clearer listening, fair fighting, and rebuilding connection after hurts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

Session options are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats also let people avoid being on camera or use a shorter phone check-in when needed. Licensed professionals aim to match format and approach to what fits a client's schedule and goals.
