About Lisa
Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 34 years of experience working in mental health and substance dependency. She practices in Georgia and has supported people with depression, anxiety, addiction, career decisions, relationship and parenting concerns, LGBT issues, grief, trauma, and other life transitions.
She has worked across inpatient and community settings and with people who have experienced the criminal justice system. That background informs a practical approach to reentry and building a new life after release. She also brings experience in life-coaching style conversations about career and goal setting.
In sessions she combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. That means she helps people notice their thoughts, try small behavior changes, clarify values, and set realistic next steps. She aims to be direct when needed and to help clients build useful skills they can use between sessions.
She does not use diagnostic labels as a way to define people. She works with individuals on issues such as ADHD, bipolar, anger, intimacy-related problems, addictions, and coping with major life changes. She is also comfortable talking about sexuality and alternative sex cultures when that is relevant to the person's concerns.
Her style is interactive and straightforward. She expects honest work from clients and offers practical tools and mindset shifts to support change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to a person and on actions that align with those values. In practice that can mean noticing painful thoughts and still taking small steps toward goals such as work, relationships, or study. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and supports practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change by exploring a person's own reasons and strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they usually respond to strategies. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is made.
