About Lisa
Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. Lisa often supports those facing grief, divorce, mood concerns, and anger.
Her approach centers on building a steady, respectful relationship where people feel heard and understood. She listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals. Lisa draws from client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. Lisa also weaves in mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and rewrite difficult stories about themselves. For couples, she uses the Gottman Method tools to improve communication and reduce conflict.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and skills-focused so people leave with concrete ways to cope. Her background includes nearly two decades of work with adults across many concerns such as addiction, ADHD, parenting stress, intimacy issues, and career distress. She has experience supporting people through infertility, blended family issues, hospice and end-of-life moments, and adoption-related questions.
Lisa adapts her work to the situation at hand and revisits goals as people change. Her style is warm and practical. She encourages small steps and honest conversation.
If someone is unsure what will help, she starts with listening and then builds a plan together.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered work focuses on the person first, giving them space to tell their story and helping the therapist understand what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and develop new coping behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.
The Gottman Method offers tools designed to improve communication and reduce conflict in relationships. It includes concrete skills for listening, repairing after arguments, and rebuilding trust over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lisa will work collaboratively to figure out what fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. The plan may combine more than one approach depending on the issue.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
