About Lisa
Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage anger and related concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship problems. She also supports those facing trauma, addiction, parenting strain, career stress, and changing life circumstances.
Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. She uses talk-based work alongside structured tools to reduce reactive patterns and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Lisa draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and narrative work to help people understand patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of trauma-focused care when appropriate. Therapy aims to explore past influences on current behavior and teach ways to respond differently in the moment.
In session she listens carefully and helps set clear, achievable steps. That might look like practicing new responses to anger, testing small behavior changes between sessions, or reframing harmful self-talk. Progress is tracked with straightforward goals and short-term plans.
She offers online options and supports international clients in English. Cost varies with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and reactivity so they can try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems alive. It uses clear exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and reduce angry or anxious reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, comfort level, and what feels useful in early sessions. That might mean combining CBT tools with attachment-focused reflections or trauma-focused processing when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for full sessions and body language cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent progress.
