Lisset Pickens , LPC

Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for relationship strain, family stress, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Her approach aims to make the first step feel doable for people who are nervous about reaching out.

She speaks plainly and listens carefully. Sessions are tailored to each person's situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Lisset works with people on career setbacks, anxiety, depression, and transitions that leave them feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Therapy often includes looking at how attachment and family-of-origin patterns shape current relationships. She also addresses blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, fertility stress, caregiver strain, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. Lisset helps clients sort through communication problems, control struggles, and commitment worries.

Her method mixes client-centered conversation with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. She helps people test small changes, practice new communication skills, and set clear goals for next steps. This can reduce anxiety and build confidence over time.

Lisset emphasizes respect and compassion in the room. She works with clients to craft a plan that fits their life and priorities. Taking that initial step is acknowledged as important, and she aims to make ongoing progress feel manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective at the center and focuses on listening, empathy, and understanding. It helps people clarify their own goals and build confidence through a supportive dialogue.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for developing concrete coping skills.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and use that awareness to improve important relationships. It can be helpful for intimacy issues and repairing communication patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
