About Lisa

Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She helps people facing trauma, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or career changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Lisa draws on a mix of practical methods to meet each person's needs. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) along with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered listening.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be direct and understandable, with clear steps people can try between meetings. Her work emphasizes the connection between feelings and the body. Lisa pays attention to how stress shows up physically and looks for ways to reduce that impact.

She builds a plan that fits daily life, so coping strategies are realistic and usable. People can expect collaborative goal-setting. Lisa values a respectful therapeutic relationship and checks in often about progress and next steps.

She reviews current problems and past experiences to see how they affect present behavior. Over 12 years in the field have shaped her practical approach. She accepts sessions in English and can work with international clients.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and scheduling is done through the site's matching and booking process.

Online support

How Lisa Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Lisa blends EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into focused online work. EMDR is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact through structured bilateral stimulation and guided processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and builds practical skills to change behaviors and manage anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, history, and goals, then suggest one or more methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps the client progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep consistent work around jobs, caregiving, or travel.
