Donna Thompson-Lisiecki, LPC

Donna Thompson-Lisiecki brings two decades of dedicated counseling experience to her work in Georgia. She balances a rich personal life - happily married, mother of two, and a grandmother since December 2021 - with a longstanding professional commitment to helping people move beyond patterns that hold them back. Outside of practice she enjoys gardening, art, music, travel, and a hands-on renovation project of a 1972 Avion, all of which inform a grounded, relatable approach to therapy.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - in Georgia, she blends practical, reality-oriented techniques with a belief that meaningful change requires active effort. She practices Reality Therapy and asks clients to engage in the process, knowing that setting and working toward achievable goals is challenging but possible with sustained motivation. Her experience includes providing mental health services to individuals and groups across age ranges, working with both adults and children in a variety of settings.

Donna is known for a non-judgmental, supportive stance and a focus on building tools and skills that foster greater well-being. Her guiding principle for therapy is straightforward - be 100 percent honest - a practice she views as essential to progress, including in virtual formats. She looks forward to supporting clients who are ready to commit to the work of change and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Donna employs client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, validation, and supporting each person in discovering their own solutions, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and reshape emotional responses that affect close relationships. EFT is practical for partners or individuals who want to improve attachment, communication, and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Donna collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work over time, combining techniques as appropriate to support progress in a way that feels right for each person.

Online therapy with Donna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to participate consistently, access licensed professionals from home, and maintain momentum between sessions while accommodating different communication preferences.
