Lisset Pickens

Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are facing relationship struggles, parenting stress, career changes, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. She emphasizes a respectful and compassionate approach and aims to make the first step feel manageable. In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to each person's situation. She focuses on practical problem-solving for everyday stresses and on rebuilding confidence after setbacks. Topics she commonly addresses include communication problems, commitment or intimacy concerns, blended family challenges, and coping with life changes like separation or job shifts. Her background includes work with caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and difficulties tied to fertility or fatherhood. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, control issues, dependent personality concerns, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. She brings a steady, patient presence to these complex situations. Her style mixes client-centered listening with goal-focused strategies. That means clients get space to be heard alongside tools to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She often uses ideas from cognitive behavioral approaches and emotionally-focused work to address feelings and interactions. Lisset invites people to start gently and at their own pace. She respects each person’s story and works collaboratively to set realistic next steps. If you are considering therapy for coping with life changes or relationship strain, she asks that you complete the intake steps and schedule a first session when ready.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the work to each person. In this approach the therapist follows the client's concerns and supports the person's own capacity to make changes, which helps when someone feels stuck or unheard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and step-by-step techniques useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress related to work or relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and communication. It can help people understand and change interaction patterns that lead to repeated conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then recommend approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these options to support practical problem solving, emotional processing, and planning for life changes.
