About Lisa

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who has practiced for 18 years. She draws on long experience supporting people and relationships through major life transitions, including divorce, grief and loss, mood disorders, and challenges with anxiety, depression, and addictions.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with fertility and end-of-life concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and a wide range of intimacy and family difficulties. Her approach centers on tailoring care to each person's needs and building a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

She uses client-centered principles to create an accepting space while integrating practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative and mindfulness-based methods. Gottman Method techniques are also part of her toolkit when relationship patterns are contributing to distress.

Lisa frames therapy as a process of identifying priorities, developing coping strategies, and strengthening resilience so clients can move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Lisa Spears integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore feelings and priorities at their own pace, which is useful for processing grief, identity concerns, and relationship shifts. CBT offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. She also draws on elements of the Gottman Method when couples want to improve communication and repair interaction patterns.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and tailor techniques across these approaches so care fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care when travel, work, or family responsibilities make in-person visits difficult, while still allowing licensed professionals to use evidence-informed strategies in an accessible format.
