Lisa Spore , LPC

Lisa Spore, LPC, supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and many issues that often affect women’s lives. She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting difficulties, grief, addiction struggles, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and regain a sense of control.

Lisa has 12 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri. She adapts sessions to each person, using clear, goal-focused work alongside deeper emotional exploration. Sessions emphasize understanding how past experiences shape today’s reactions and habits.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and attachment ideas to improve how people relate to themselves and others. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address trauma when appropriate. Treatment plans are formed together based on what a person needs and prefers.

Lisa pays attention to the mind-body connection and notices how physical symptoms and emotions interact. She favors practical strategies that can be used between sessions, plus reflective work that helps people make lasting changes. Communication and small, measurable steps are part of her routine.

People connect with her for help after loss, breakup, or when stress becomes overwhelming. She also supports those facing chronic illness, codependency, commitment fears, first responder stresses, and issues tied to gender or sexual identity. Therapy aims to reduce distress and build clearer choices for everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional responses. Online sessions use conversation and guided exercises to help people notice patterns and build more secure connections with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going by teaching concrete skills like thought records and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, helps process traumatic memories through structured protocols that can be adapted for remote delivery when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and life demands. That might mean starting with CBT skills, then adding attachment-focused work or EMDR as needed. Decisions are reviewed together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect: video calls for full face-to-face work, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, live chat for quick check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or medical needs and to use tools and homework materials between sessions.
