About Lisa

Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She focuses on a broad range of concerns including ADHD, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, self-esteem, stress, parenting, bipolar disorder, and career challenges. Her approach also addresses related areas such as abandonment, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered principles, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. Lisa values the therapeutic connection and prioritizes collaboration, helping clients explore how past experiences shape current patterns while building practical coping skills.

She emphasizes mind-body awareness and integrates techniques aimed at reducing emotional reactivity and promoting resilience. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where treatment is shaped around individual goals and preferences.

Lisa keeps current with clinical trainings and adapts interventions to support realistic, sustainable change while honoring each person’s unique strengths and pace.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and emotional safety; it helps people explore relational expectations and develop more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problems with impulsivity or stress. EMDR provides a structured way to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge, often used when trauma or painful past events are contributing to present difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to clarify goals, assess needs, and experiment with methods that fit the person’s preferences and circumstances. That means treatment plans can combine attachment work, CBT skills, EMDR, or narrative elements as needed, and adjustments are made over time based on how the client responds.

Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for emotional work.
