Lisset Pickens

Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career difficulties, stress, anxiety, and self-esteem. Her approach is practical and respectful. She aims to meet people where they are and help them take the next step.

Her sessions center on clear, focused conversation. She tailors the dialogue and plan to each person's situation. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, working on emotional connection, or setting concrete short-term goals. She also uses supportive coaching when someone needs motivation or help planning changes.

Lisset brings patience and sensitivity to difficult topics like separation, blended family strain, grief, caregiver stress, or fertility concerns. She will help people sort priorities, communicate more effectively, and rebuild confidence after setbacks. She pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin patterns that affect current relationships.

When career concerns come up, sessions may focus on decision-making, managing workplace stress, or exploring next steps. For parents, conversations often include practical strategies and realistic goals rather than one-size-fits-all advice. The tone is collaborative and down-to-earth.

Starting therapy is framed as a process. Lisset works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals. She encourages steady progress and checks in often to adjust the plan as needed.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs space to sort through feelings and make sense of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses small experiments and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns; it suits anxiety, stress, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, pays attention to emotional bonds and helps people identify and shift interaction patterns that keep them stuck in conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaboration continues over time, with adjustments based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between errands. Phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Many people find it's possible to do steady, focused work online when the approach and schedule match their needs.
