01About Lisa
Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, substance issues, and grief. She works with people on self-esteem, anger, career questions, ADHD, and life transitions. Lisa practices from Missouri and offers care in English for clients in-region and internationally.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She pays attention to how past events shape current reactions and looks for patterns that cause recurring pain.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that fit each person’s life and goals. Lisa draws from several therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs rather than using a single method. Lisa has 12 years of experience in mental health and holds an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor.
She tailors sessions to what each person brings and adjusts tools when something isn’t working. This may mean talking through experiences, trying skill-building exercises, or using guided processing techniques for difficult memories. She emphasizes the relationship in therapy and works with clients to set clear, manageable goals.
Conversations often include identifying triggers, practicing new ways to respond, and building routines that reduce stress. Lisa also addresses more complex patterns such as codependency, abandonment issues, and co-occurring concerns. People can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper work when needed.
Progress is tracked by what a person can do differently day to day. Lisa aims to help people feel more stable, connected to themselves, and better able to handle life’s demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and emotional patterns; it can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a guided processing approach that helps when memories or traumatic events continue to cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time so the approach matches progress and personal preference.
Online care offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, or work between scheduled conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what works best.
