About Lisa
Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing trauma, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, addictions, and a wide range of life changes. Lisa also supports concerns such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Lisa uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test different ways of responding. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and client-centered conversations to understand how past relationships affect current choices.
Her background includes a range of trauma-focused approaches. Lisa lists Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and somatic techniques among the tools she uses for trauma and abuse work. She combines these with solution-focused strategies when clients want shorter-term, goal-directed work.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Lisa guides people to notice patterns, try specific exercises, and review what changed between sessions. She pays attention to bodily reactions as well as thoughts, and she blends talk-based work with somatic methods when helpful.
People who choose her can expect a straightforward style that emphasizes collaboration and practical skills. Lisa helps clients learn concrete ways to reduce stress, manage mood shifts, and handle difficult memories. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts and behaviors, and to practice specific exercises between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people rethink repetitive interaction styles to improve relationships.EMDR and somatic-oriented methods are also part of her toolkit for trauma work; these approaches attend to memory processing and bodily responses to distress. In online sessions these methods are adjusted so clients can do paced breathing, guided body awareness, and stepwise processing with the therapist's direction. The therapist works collaboratively to choose which approach fits a person's goals and comfort level, and that decision is revisited as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some methods translate well to video, while others may use phone or guided exercises that do not require being on camera; discuss preferences with the therapist when scheduling.
