About Lisa
Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, and stress related to life changes. Lisa focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.
She adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.
Background and approach
Lisa uses methods that connect emotions and behavior, helping people spot patterns and try small, doable changes. Her background includes a long record of work in mental health and independent practice in Missouri. She draws on several therapy styles to meet different concerns, including strategies that focus on thoughts and behavior and methods that attend to emotional memory and attachment patterns.
In session, Lisa often combines goal-focused exercises with attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. She pays attention to both feelings and body responses so clients can learn skills that help in daily life. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Lisa offers sessions in multiple formats to fit varied schedules and needs. International clients can be served in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotions and connection patterns, helping people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into steps people can change, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress tied to upsetting memories by using structured processing to reduce their emotional intensity.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and comfort. Together you can adjust techniques over time if something isn’t helping or if priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you read facial cues and have a more natural conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging is helpful for brief updates or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care while traveling or living abroad.
