Donna Thompson-Lisiecki, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Donna

Donna Thompson-Lisiecki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She approaches therapy as a process that asks clients to do the real work of change. Donna is direct but warm and asks for honesty in sessions to make progress together.

Her style is practical and straightforward. She encourages people to set clear goals and follow steps that lead toward them. She emphasizes effort, motivation, and skills practice rather than quick fixes.

Background and approach

Donna uses several therapy methods to meet different needs. She draws on client-centered principles to keep the client's perspective central. She also brings in mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and strong emotions.

In addition, she weaves existential ideas into conversations about meaning and purpose. Those approaches help when people are facing life transitions, midlife questions, or struggles with identity and direction. Sessions focus on building tools for better day-to-day functioning.

Donna helps clients move past stuck patterns like anger, depression, addictive behaviors, and low self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as grief, trauma symptoms, parenting concerns, career questions, and coping with major life changes. Donna practices in Georgia and conducts work in English.

She offers several online formats - video, phone, live chat, and messaging - so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, a brief questionnaire and scheduling step match clients with the right session option.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Donna blends client-centered therapy with emotionally-focused ideas to create a practical, relationship-aware approach. Client-centered therapy keeps the conversation on what matters to the person and supports self-directed change. Emotionally-focused ideas help identify and name strong feelings so people can shift patterns that cause repeated conflicts or distress.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach breathing, grounding, and awareness skills that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness work is useful for stress, anxiety, and managing urges tied to addictive patterns. Together these approaches aim to build skills and insight that apply to daily life and to difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna treats the decision as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods suit a client's goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made and as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people connect from home, fit therapy around busy schedules, and choose formats that feel most comfortable. Many clients use a mix of formats to suit different moments and tasks.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
