Donna Thompson-Lisiecki, LPC

Donna Thompson-Lisiecki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She combines a practical, straightforward style with steady encouragement. Donna asks for honest effort from clients and aims to help people move past stuck patterns and regain energy for life.

She began her counseling career two decades ago and has worked in many settings with adults and children. That background informs a flexible approach to common concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. Donna also supports people facing career shifts, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and the aftermath of first responder or veteran experiences.

Donna draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. She uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships. Mindfulness and existential perspectives help people notice what matters and find meaning during life changes.

Her style is direct but warm. She asks clients to be honest and to engage in the work between sessions. Goals are practical and skills-oriented, with attention to changing emotional patterns and daily routines that keep people stuck.

Outside of practice she enjoys gardening, art, music, travel, and creative projects like renovating an Avion. Donna is a wife, mother, and grandmother who brings life experience alongside clinical experience to her work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and decide their own goals while the therapist offers support and reflection. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) guides attention to feelings and patterns in close relationships, which can help when intimacy, attachment, or communication are the main concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing skills to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions by anchoring attention in the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and quicker access to a licensed professional without long commutes. Online work can make shorter check-ins possible, reduce travel time, and allow continuity during life transitions.
