About Lisa
Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and other life changes.
Lisa meets each person where they are and starts by listening to what matters most. She focuses on building a working relationship and then helps clients identify clear goals. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with attention to what the client wants to change.
Her background includes use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy, along with mindfulness and narrative approaches. Those methods are used to look at thoughts, behaviors, and the stories people tell about themselves. She also brings experience with the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed.
In sessions she helps people develop coping skills for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. She also addresses family and parenting concerns, adoption and foster care topics, blended family issues, and relationship challenges such as infidelity or separation. Practical strategies for sleep, eating concerns, and managing anger are commonly part of the work.
Lisa has supported people through grief, hospice and end-of-life topics, and longtime struggles like addiction or bipolar mood concerns. Her approach often mixes short-term problem solving with deeper narrative work to make sense of difficult experiences.
To start, clients are invited to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. That first meeting is used to set goals and decide which methods will be most helpful going forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client, which helps people feel heard and choose their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for working on communication and trust in relationships and can be used when couples want to address ongoing conflict or rebuild connection.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try approaches that fit those goals and preferences. That may mean combining brief problem-solving work with mindfulness or narrative techniques to address deeper patterns over time.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday, have shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choose not to use video if that feels better. These practical options help people integrate therapy into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
