HI! My name is Lisa. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I have been working in this field for over 18 years. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families through various life challenges. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with painful life experiences such as divorce, grief and loss, as well as depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges.
Because every person is unique, my therapeutic style is based on identifying individuals needs and concerns and building on the therapeutic relationship to create a safe and trusting space for clients to begin working through life's difficulties. I am skilled in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, TF-CBT, CTR, Person-centered and Solution Focused , along with many other treatment modalities.
Whatever brings you to this place, I hope you find the courage to keep going. Even if you are afraid, do it anyway. It will be worth it!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
