About Lisa
Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience working in Missouri. She focuses on issues many young adults face, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, identity and LGBT matters, addiction, and the strain of life transitions.
She uses practical, talk-forward sessions grounded in proven approaches. Lisa combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and solve immediate problems. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories when appropriate.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Lisa listens for how past relationships influence current stress and helps identify coping steps that fit everyday life. She often breaks big problems into manageable tasks and checks in on progress between topics.
Beyond therapy methods, she pays attention to physical reactions and how the body holds stress. That perspective helps when grief, chronic illness, or trauma affect day-to-day functioning. She draws on multiple approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
People who want to get started are invited to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Lisa accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like identifying repeated reactions in close relationships and trying new ways of relating to reduce conflict and loneliness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down distressing thoughts and behaviors into specific habits to change; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like procrastination or sleep disruption. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they interfere less with daily life. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. That means trying a way of working for a few sessions and changing course if it is not helpful. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since they are not listed here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into study, work, and family routines. Online options can make it easier to attend shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or join sessions when a weekday evening or a lunch break fits best. Licensed professionals can guide how to use online sessions to practice skills between meetings and keep progress moving forward.Areas of expertise
