Lisa Bryan, LPC

Lisa Bryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 24 years of professional experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and children on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, bipolar disorder, and depression. She brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to each client encounter and adapts dialogue and treatment plans to address each person’s individual needs and goals.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, she spent 15 years as an elementary school teacher, a background that gives her a natural affinity for working with children and adolescents. When appropriate, she incorporates play therapy to help younger clients express feelings and build coping skills in developmentally appropriate ways. She emphasizes collaboration and practical support for clients as they take the often challenging first steps toward greater well-being.

Grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and informed by her personal Christian perspective, she aims to create a warm, steady presence for clients navigating life transitions, mood disorders, relationship issues, and addiction recovery. Lisa frames therapy as a partnership and offers tailored care that honors each client’s courage and individual path forward.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Play Therapy Online

Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and measurable goals. These methods focus on helping clients develop coping strategies, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior so daily functioning can improve over time.

For children and adolescents she incorporates play therapy, a developmentally appropriate approach that uses play to help young clients express emotions, process experiences, and build social and emotional skills. Play therapy is often helpful for addressing behavioral concerns, anxiety, and adjustment issues in younger clients.

She also offers faith-informed support for clients who want their spiritual values to be part of the therapeutic conversation, integrating those perspectives sensitively into the work when requested. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to receive consistent care from home or while traveling. These options help clients access ongoing support, follow-up sessions, and timely coping tools without the need for in-person visits.
