About Lisa
Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 34 years of experience. She is licensed in Georgia and has worked in addiction, mental health, and life coaching settings. Lisa helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance dependence, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and career decisions.
She uses straightforward, interactive counseling. Sessions are practical and honest. Lisa aims to help clients learn tools and mindsets they can use outside sessions, and she will be direct when a clear approach is needed.
Her background includes long work with addiction and reentry after incarceration, and with people dealing with substance dependency and mental health concerns. She has supported people with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma histories, and she has worked on intimacy and relationship issues as well as LGBT-focused concerns.
Lisa draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and build rapport. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps tackle patterns of thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment skills and values-based action.
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused thinking to support change and practical problem solving. Lisa is comfortable working with people exploring spirituality as part of their process. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that fit into daily life and parenting responsibilities.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take actions that line up with their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by encouraging steady, values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which method or mix of methods fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household, let you schedule brief check-ins during the day, and remove the need to travel. They also allow therapists to use worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and CBT tools during a session so practical work can continue between appointments.
