About Lisa

Lisa Spears is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. Her way of working is straightforward and personal.

She aims to build trust so people feel safe talking about hard things. Her background includes long-term clinical work with individuals, couples, and families across many concerns. She draws from Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered methods to create a warm, accepting space and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical. Lisa listens first, then helps set small goals that feel doable.

She offers ways to practice new skills between meetings so progress continues outside the session room. Clients often bring situations like parenting strain, adoption or blended family challenges, fertility stress, addiction, or workplace burnout. Lisa also supports people dealing with intimacy problems, body image, and mood disorders.

She works with issues linked to trauma, grief, and end-of-life concerns. People who connect well with her usually want a mix of emotional support and concrete tools. Lisa explains methods plainly and helps tailor the approach to each person.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Lisa directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches fit with online therapy

Lisa uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and retell their experiences in ways that reduce shame and open up new choices. That approach is especially helpful for issues like trauma, family of origin problems, grief, and identity concerns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are to build trust and understanding.

She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when needed to pinpoint patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practice new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and anger by turning insights into specific steps a person can try between sessions.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative stance means the work can shift over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, caregiving, or travel while maintaining a steady therapeutic plan.
