Lisa Spore, LPC

Lisa Spore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 12 years of clinical experience. She supports adults dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and a range of life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life problems like work frustration, growing resentment, or difficulty managing strong emotions.

Lisa uses a mix of approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. She works collaboratively to identify what triggers strong reactions and to develop manageable strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to track thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and mood problems.

Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she pays attention to relationships and emotional needs. Lisa also uses Narrative Therapy and EMDR to address painful memories when those are part of the problem. She explains methods plainly and helps clients choose what makes sense for their situation.

Her style tends to be direct and solution-focused. Sessions look at both short-term steps and longer-term patterns so people can reduce impulsive responses and build steadier reactions. Practical tools, thought work, and attention to bodily feelings are common parts of the work.

People often come for coaching around career or parenting stress, help managing grief, or support with substance use and compulsive behaviors. Lisa also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, chronic illness, ADHD, and sexual identity concerns. She invites clients to clarify goals and tries methods that fit each person’s life.
