About Lisset
Lisset Pickens is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who bring relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with intimacy. Sessions may also address life changes and coaching for practical next steps.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on client-centered listening and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and attachment are central to the problem.
In a first session she will listen to what matters most and outline clear, short-term goals. Progress is discussed in concrete terms so a person can see what is changing and what to try next. When specific problems need action, she uses solution-focused techniques to build practical steps and small experiments.
Clients with complex emotional material may explore patterns from their family of origin and how those patterns affect current relationships. She can also work on caregiver stress, blended family issues, fertility-related strain, or commitment and communication problems.
People who want direct, skills-based work and real-world strategies often find this style useful. Lisset guides clients toward manageable changes they can use between sessions and checks in on how those changes are working.
How Lisset uses practical approaches in online sessions
CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, low mood, stress, and concrete problems by giving specific exercises and experiments to try between sessions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify what they want to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape interactions in close relationships and helps people recognize patterns that keep them stuck.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Lisset will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She adjusts the plan based on what is working and what the client finds most helpful.
