About Lisa
Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 12 years of counseling experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, codependency, addictions, and parenting concerns. Lisa also supports people coping with trauma, grief, identity questions, and life transitions.
She favors clear, practical work in sessions. Lisa combines client-centered conversation with focused techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors and EMDR for processing difficult memories when appropriate.
In the room she pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. Attachment-based ideas guide discussions about boundaries, trust, and closeness. Narrative therapy tools help people rewrite self-stories that keep them stuck in people-pleasing or avoidance.
Lisa emphasizes learning skills you can use between sessions. That might mean practicing a short behavioral experiment, testing a new boundary, or trying a written exercise to shift a feeding cycle of guilt and overcommitment. Sessions move at a pace the client sets while still aiming for tangible changes.
She welcomes clients who want practical strategies and deeper emotional work. International clients may be accommodated in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the See online therapy options button to complete the short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Lisa integrates approaches in online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. That approach helps when someone struggles with boundaries, trust, or repeating unhealthy relationship habits. Client-centered work means sessions start with the client’s experience and priorities, giving space to speak and be heard while the therapist follows what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety, low mood, or people-pleasing. It offers short exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce immediate stress and create new habits. EMDR is used when processing past distressing memories is helpful; it supports emotional processing so memories feel less overwhelming over time.
Finding the right mix of these methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. That means some sessions may be practical skills work and others may focus on deeper processing.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into daily life and which approaches to prioritize.
