About Lisa

Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 34 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and has worked across addiction, mental health, and life coaching settings. Lisa supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and career or parenting pressures.

Her background includes long experience in addiction treatment and mental health care. She has worked with people returning to life after involvement with the criminal justice system and with a wide range of life challenges. That experience informs how she frames practical next steps for recovery and rebuilding.

Lisa uses straightforward, interactive counseling. She aims to be respectful and direct. She helps people identify practical tools and changes rather than offering quick fixes. She says she will not solve problems for clients but will help them find workable approaches.

Her work draws on several therapy approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. These approaches are used to address things like anger, addictive behaviors, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Lisa also acknowledges faith and spirituality as part of many people’s lives and is comfortable integrating those values into conversations when clients want that. She describes herself as direct when needed and values honesty alongside sensitivity.

People who choose her often want practical tools, clear feedback, and a focus on rebuilding routines and relationships. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site’s process for a first session and matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and anger management. Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and increase awareness in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to test methods and agree which ones feel most useful. That collaboration helps shape goals and practical steps week to week rather than relying on a single technique.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also allow using written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, and recorded mindfulness practices between appointments to support steady progress.
