Lisa Haughey, LPC

Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience supporting people through addiction, mental health concerns, and life transitions. Licensed in both Georgia and Arizona, she has worked across addiction services, mental health treatment, and life coaching, helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, substance dependency, career questions, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, LGBTQI-related concerns, and many solution-focused issues.

Her background also includes work with people who have been involved in the criminal justice system, and she brings understanding and practical guidance to reentry and rebuilding life after incarceration. Lisa combines a warm, interactive counseling style with a commitment to treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels while remaining honest and direct when that approach best serves the client's progress.

She aims to equip clients with tools and a constructive mindset so they can address problems independently over time, while offering clear feedback and practical guidance when needed. Comfortable working with a wide range of spiritual beliefs, Lisa honors each client’s personal path and is experienced in supporting people who are exploring or practicing their own faith or spirituality. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It is often used to address anxiety, stress, and life transitions by helping people focus on what matters most to them rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable internal experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It offers practical skills for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns by teaching coping strategies and problem-solving techniques.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist provides support, active listening, and nonjudgmental feedback. This approach can be particularly helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and working through identity and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa will work collaboratively with each client to explore which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or travel, and they allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of geographic distance.
