About Lisa

Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has practiced in Missouri's mental health field for 12 years. She maintains a commitment to ongoing training and skill refinement, bringing specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing to her clinical work. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches to address each client's needs.

Recognizing that every person brings a distinct history and set of strengths, Lisa tailors treatment plans to the individual rather than relying on a single method. She emphasizes the importance of mind-body balance and the role of natural healing in building a stable foundation for emotional growth. Her practice focuses on exploring how past experiences and current emotional reactivity can influence daily functioning, and she uses a blend of techniques to reduce distress and improve coping.

Lisa values the therapeutic relationship as central to progress and works collaboratively with clients to determine the most suitable strategies. Whether applying solution-focused tools, EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, or somatic methods, she aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space that encourages resilience and meaningful change.

Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also brings EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - which focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact, often helping clients who struggle with past trauma. In addition, Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental framework where the client's goals guide sessions and the therapist offers empathy and collaboration to foster self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on client response and ongoing discussion about what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity of care across distances, and provide multiple ways for clients to engage with licensed professionals according to what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
