About Lisa

Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over three decades of experience. She practices in Georgia and brings a straightforward, respectful manner to sessions. Her style is warm but direct, and she helps people build practical tools to move forward.

She has extensive experience in addiction and mental health work, and she also supports people navigating career decisions and relationship struggles. Lisa has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and coping with life changes. She is comfortable addressing issues related to sexual orientation and intimacy, and she is familiar with challenges tied to reentry after involvement with the criminal justice system.

Her approach is interactive and values each person's beliefs and spiritual path. She says she avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect. She works collaboratively and focuses on helping people develop skills and a mindset that support change.

In sessions she can be both compassionate and direct when honesty is needed to help someone make progress. She uses practical, solution-oriented conversation alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help clients manage stress, anger, and addictive behavior. Lisa encourages people who are ready to make changes and supports them through that process.

She accepts international clients and offers services in English. To start, people choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing those thoughts with practical steps to change behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the person's lead to support growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needed so therapy fits the person's situation and aims.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. Many people find it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Online work can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to keep. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking to know which formats are offered.
