About Lisa

Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 34 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. She also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports clients dealing with trauma, grief, career changes, and ADHD.

Her approach is practical and interactive. She uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to help people talk through problems and learn new ways of coping. Sessions often include clear feedback and skill-building rather than long lectures.

Lisa has a long background in both addiction and general mental health work. She has helped people with substance dependency issues and with reentry after involvement in the criminal justice system. That history gives her experience with practical barriers and restarting life after big disruptions.

She is direct when that helps move things forward, but also respects each person’s beliefs and spiritual path. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on tools and mindsets clients can use between sessions. The work may include setting boundaries, improving communication, and strategies for managing strong emotions.

Lisa sees clients in Georgia and is licensed there as well as in Arizona. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To start, readers are asked to follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps so they can plan an initial conversation and decide if her style fits their needs.

How sessions work

How Lisa’s therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for managing anxiety, mood, and coping skills when stress rises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as needs change, mixing ACT, CBT, and client-centered conversation as useful.

The biography doesn’t list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online meetings can make it easier to meet when relocating or handling work and family demands. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and homework to suit an online rhythm, focusing on practical skills like boundary-setting, communication practice, and emotion regulation that translate into everyday life.
