Lisa Spears , LPC

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and other life changes. Lisa meets people where they are and aims to create a trusting, straightforward space for change.

Her approach starts with listening closely to each person's story. She uses plain talk to clarify what feels most urgent and sets simple, achievable goals. Sessions center on practical steps people can try between meetings to feel steadier and more in control.

Lisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and build a collaborative relationship. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Narrative Therapy to help people reshape how they tell their life story. The Gottman Method informs her work on relationship communication and conflict.

She has supported people through grief, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care concerns, and fertility and end-of-life issues. Other areas she helps with include body image, addictions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career transitions.

Sessions may focus on coping skills, improving communication, setting boundaries, or rebuilding routine after loss. Lisa encourages small, steady steps and checks in on what is and isn't working so plans can be adjusted together.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Lisa often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities so sessions stay relevant to their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy unfolds to find what fits best.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer text-based check-ins, need brief coaching between meetings, or want more flexibility in timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules.
