About Lisa

Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. An LPC indicates a state license to provide professional counseling services. She maintains a commitment to ongoing training and skill development, integrating evidence-based methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with additional training in Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing, and drawing on Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused Brief, and Client-Centered approaches.

She values the individuality of each person and adapts treatment to match unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Her work emphasizes the connection between mind and body, recognizing that addressing physical sensations and natural healing processes can support emotional recovery and longer-term growth. Therapy is offered in a nonjudgmental setting where exploration of current and past experiences informs a plan tailored to the client.

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is central to her practice. In collaboration with clients, she assesses emotional reactivity, identifies patterns that interfere with daily functioning, and selects techniques - such as solution-focused strategies, Brainspotting, CBT, or Somatic Experiencing in various combinations - to reduce distress and promote healthier functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps clients process distressing memories by using guided attention and bilateral stimulation; it is often used for trauma, abuse, and intense emotional memories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist provides acceptance and support while clients explore their goals and values to find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa Spore works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client review progress together and adjust strategies as necessary to support meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These modalities make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to fit therapy into busy schedules, while allowing therapists to use the same clinical approaches they would in person to help clients move toward their goals.
