About Lisa
Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to help manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges. Her style aims to make the work feel understandable and doable for busy lives.
She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and listening into each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and narrative approaches are part of her toolkit when they fit a person's needs. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when couples work on communication and connection.
Lisa has supported people through grief, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care concerns, parenting stresses, and fertility or hospice-related challenges. She helps people talk through identity and intimacy questions, addiction concerns, mood changes, and career uncertainty. Her approach is practical, focusing on small changes that add up.
Sessions begin by identifying the most pressing concerns and realistic goals. She works collaboratively to try out new ways of coping, to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and to practice skills between meetings. Progress is tracked in straightforward terms so clients can see what’s working.
Her tone is encouraging and direct. She invites people to take the next step even when they feel afraid. The work aims to reduce suffering, clarify priorities, and strengthen relationships in ways that fit daily life.
How therapy approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps people set goals that feel right for them. This approach is useful for grief, life changes, parenting stress, and relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and gentle experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns. Clients often leave sessions with specific skills to try during the week.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice moment-to-moment experience without judgment. Simple grounding and breathing practices can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan over time.
