About Lisset

Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns as well as parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, and career issues. Her work often addresses self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and life transitions.

She aims to meet people where they are and respects each person's story and priorities. Her approach is practical and straightforward. She listens first and then helps shape steps that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions are adapted to each person, so the conversation and plan are made to match real needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. Among the methods she uses are client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy. That mix allows her to focus on current problems, patterns in relationships, and the client’s own goals.

She also draws on solution-focused and existential ideas when they suit the situation. Parents often come for help with blended family tensions, fatherhood concerns, fertility matters, or caregiving stress. Other topics she addresses include communication and commitment issues, family of origin problems, and coping after separation or loss.

She works with issues related to attachment and feelings of emptiness. Conversations with her are intended to be direct, compassionate, and aimed at usable change. She partners with clients to set clear goals and to track small steps forward.

For many people this creates clearer relationships, steadier confidence, and more manageable stress.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk about what matters most and helps them shape goals that come from their own values. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and a steady, respectful listener.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test and change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, or stress. CBT is often used when someone wants clear strategies to manage daily problems.

Emotionally-focused therapy, or EFT, concentrates on how emotions shape relationships. It helps partners or family members recognize patterns and build stronger emotional bonds. That approach can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to connect from home, keep continuity during busy weeks, and return to therapy after setbacks. Many people find the flexibility helps them keep steady progress while balancing family and work obligations.

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.

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.
