About Lisa
Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, parenting strain, addictions, and issues such as low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
She uses a mix of practical techniques rather than a single method. Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to focus on how relationships affect daily life. She also incorporates EMDR work when trauma is part of the picture. Therapy is conversational and goal-focused; the therapist and client pick what makes sense for each concern.
In sessions, Lisa pays attention to how the body and emotions connect. That means noticing physical reactions to stress or anger and using those observations to reduce reactivity. She may use brief, solution-focused steps alongside deeper trauma work depending on what the client needs. Progress is usually built through small, practical changes rather than quick fixes.
Her approach treats the therapeutic relationship as central. Lisa works collaboratively to identify patterns that keep problems going and to test different coping strategies. Expect straightforward feedback, skill-building, and regular check-ins on what is helping.
Clients who prefer active, problem-solving sessions will find clear structure here. The work can include managing impulses, improving communication, handling grief, or addressing co-occurring problems like chronic illness or ADHD. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions such as anger and mistrust. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice different ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to reframe unhelpful thoughts and reduce impulsive responses. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories that may fuel intense emotional reactions; it is used when past events clearly affect present functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may mean starting with CBT skills, then moving into attachment work or trauma processing as trust and readiness grow.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how online meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not possible. Some formats need less bandwidth or let people avoid being on camera, which can help with concentration and comfort. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and which approach best fits daily life and goals.
