Lisa Spears, LPC

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and other life changes. Her work emphasizes a respectful, steady presence while people talk through painful experiences and look for practical next steps.

She uses a person-centered approach to build trust and understand each person's priorities. From there she draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused steps to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving. She also brings in mindfulness and narrative ideas to help clients notice patterns and tell their story differently.

Lisa has worked with individuals who are navigating divorce, loss, adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, fertility challenges, and caregiving at the end of life. She also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, anger, body image, and isolation. Her practice includes work with LGBT issues, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are aimed at identifying small, concrete changes that fit into daily life. Lisa focuses on clear goals such as improving sleep, reducing anxiety, repairing relationship patterns, or managing stress at work. She invites each person to set the pace and try approaches that feel useful.

Her style is warm and practical. She encourages people to take steps even when they feel afraid, and to notice progress along the way.

Approaches you can explore online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's needs. It helps when someone wants a calm space to talk, feel heard, and gradually try new ways of relating or coping.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts, change behaviors, and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus. These practices pair well with skills work to help people notice patterns instead of reacting automatically.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Together they review what helps and adjust as needed.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow a shorter check-in by phone when less bandwidth or a quick conversation is needed. Many people find remote work helps keep momentum between sessions and makes regular check-ins more practical.
