Lisa Spears, LPC

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. Lisa describes a direct, compassionate approach that focuses on what matters to each person.

She aims to build a trusting relationship first. That relationship becomes the place to name problems and try practical steps forward. Lisa uses straightforward methods to help clients manage moods, cope with loss, and address challenges such as addictions, intimacy issues, or parenting strain.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work and narrative and mindfulness approaches when those fit a client’s goals.

Lisa has supported people through divorce, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, infertility and grief related to hospice and end-of-life situations. She also helps with body image, career questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and living with mood disorders such as bipolar conditions.

In sessions, she focuses on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Clients can expect collaboration and practical tools alongside listening and validation. To begin, readers should use the site’s continue button on this profile to match and schedule a first visit.

How Lisa’s approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on what the person brings and moves at their pace. That approach helps people feel heard and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and build new coping habits; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. The Gottman Method offers practical techniques for improving communication and resolving recurring relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and daily realities and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help on a hectic schedule. Ask about available session types when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
