Lisa Spore

Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting strains, addiction concerns, and challenges like ADHD or chronic illness. Lisa approaches each person as an individual and adapts work to fit their needs.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps to reduce reactivity and build healthier coping. She combines talk-based methods with body-centered techniques when helpful. The therapeutic relationship guides the work; she aims to be nonjudgmental and steady while clients try new ways of handling difficult feelings.

Lisa has spent 12 years in the mental health field in Missouri, including a decade as an LPC in private practice. That experience shapes a straightforward style that values clear goals and measurable progress. She reviews current and past events to see how old patterns affect today.

Her toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods, paired with trauma approaches such as EMDR and Attachment-Based ideas when appropriate. She may also use narrative and solution-focused techniques to help people reframe problems and move toward change.

Sessions often address triggers, communication patterns, and emotional reactivity. Lisa helps people notice what fuels anger and replace reactive habits with calmer choices. She also works on rebuilding trust after loss, setting limits, and restoring a sense of control.

Clients who prefer an active, collaborative process will find an approach that balances skill teaching with emotional processing. Lisa invites people to set goals and track progress so therapy stays focused and practical.

Approaches for anger and trauma in online work

Lisa often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and change reactive behaviors. CBT breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test assumptions and practice different responses to anger and anxiety.

She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas to focus on safety in the relationship with the therapist. Attachment-informed work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions, while client-centered methods emphasize listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals, adjusting plans as progress is made. Clients play an active role in deciding which techniques feel most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from locations that suit their schedules. Many licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and trauma-processing techniques effectively for remote work, and Lisa can help tailor the process to what works best for each client.
