Lisa Spears, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Lisa

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of relationship and personal challenges. Lisa meets people where they are and helps them make practical changes that fit their lives.

Her approach begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. She builds a trusting atmosphere so clients can talk through painful events like divorce, grief, or loss.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, or changes in mood. Lisa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered work, and the Gottman Method to address thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. She blends solution-focused and narrative ideas to help clients find clear next steps and reframe difficult stories.

Mindfulness practices are used to reduce stress and increase presence when helpful. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Lisa helps clients set achievable goals and practices to use between appointments.

Parents often appreciate straightforward strategies for family and parenting challenges, and couples find concrete ways to improve communication. Her style is calm and encouraging. She guides people through grief, life transitions, and everyday stressors without judgment.

For those ready to try therapy, she supports steady progress and realistic plans for change.

Approaches that translate to online family work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a respectful space where clients can explore concerns at their own pace; it helps people feel heard and builds trust for deeper work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. The Gottman Method offers practical skills for couples to improve communication and handle conflict in healthier ways.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lisa partners with clients to decide which method or combination fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve and progress is tracked together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and tone, while phone sessions can be easier when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins and support between sessions. These options help make consistent care more accessible without sacrificing clinical options or the collaborative work of therapy.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
