About Lisa
Lisa Haughey is a licensed professional counselor with more than three decades of experience. She offers a warm, direct style and focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and parenting concerns. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people build skills they can use day to day.
She has worked across addiction and mental health settings and with people facing career decisions, relationship strains, grief, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Lisa also brings experience supporting those navigating bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma histories. Her background includes work related to reentry after criminal justice involvement, which informs a nonjudgmental stance toward complex life situations. In sessions she blends acceptance-based work with cognitive and mindfulness tools.
That means she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, choose actions that match their values, and learn practical behavior changes. She uses motivational techniques to help clients find their own reasons to change and keeps the work focused on real-world outcomes. Lisa treats parenting concerns as part of broader life and relationship work.
She helps parents manage stress, set boundaries, and rebuild connection when parenting feels overwhelming. Her style is interactive and honest, and she aims to teach skills rather than simply give advice. She holds an LPC credential and practices in Georgia.
Lisa works with people of diverse backgrounds and welcomes conversations about spirituality and personal beliefs as part of therapy.

Using ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where a clearer sense of direction is needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy so clients can find their own solutions and build confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most effective for the person. This happens collaboratively so the plan fits a client's needs and preferences rather than being prescribed in advance.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, on-the-go reflections, or extra encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or travel while keeping the focus on practical change.
