About Lisa
Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing hard life moments like divorce, grief, depression, and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the stress of everyday life.
Her approach starts with listening. She takes time to understand a person’s concerns and what matters most to them. From there she builds a trusting relationship so clients feel steady enough to try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Lisa draws on practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered work. She uses these tools to help people manage symptoms, rethink unhelpful patterns, and set workable goals. She also incorporates narrative and mindfulness approaches when that fits the client’s needs.
Parents often seek her out for guidance on family dynamics, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and parenting-related stress. She also addresses intimacy, grief, infertility and end-of-life concerns, body image, and work or career stress. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and down-to-earth.
Lisa offers clear options and simple strategies you can try between meetings. If you want calm, practical support to navigate a difficult chapter, she focuses on creating steady steps forward.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Lisa uses client-centered work to place your concerns at the center of the conversation. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to you, and helping you notice strengths you already have. It can be useful when you want a supportive space to sort through feelings or make a personal plan.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers clear, practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress and to build skills for handling anxiety, depression, or parenting stress. When relationship concerns arise, principles from the Gottman Method inform concrete ways to improve communication and reduce conflict.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lisa will talk with you about goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques over time so sessions stay useful and doable.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility. Video lets you see facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are short options for quick check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward change.
