About Lisset

Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem and confidence, career struggles, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also works with intimacy-related issues, depression, and people seeking coaching-style support for practical change.

Her approach is warm and respectful. She listens first and tailors the conversation to each person. Sessions aim to make thinking clearer and choices easier. She emphasizes compassion and practical steps rather than one-size-fits-all fixes.

Lisset uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused work. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, strengthen emotional understanding, and find solutions that fit their daily lives. She also draws on existential and solution-focused approaches when clients want to examine values or set short-term goals.

She has particular experience with attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and issues around divorce, fertility, and fatherhood. She helps people manage control issues, emptiness, and dependent personality patterns as well.

Practical matters are part of the work. Conversations can address coping after disasters, forgiveness, and rebuilding confidence at home or work. The therapist invites a collaborative process where clients set goals and choose the pace of change.

How approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist and client build understanding through straightforward conversation and supportive feedback.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work CBT often uses simple practical tasks and short exercises to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines.

Emotionally-focused work helps people notice and name core feelings and patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can guide emotional awareness and rehearse new ways of connecting that the client can try between meetings.

Choosing a fit is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives - it can make scheduling easier, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be shaped to work around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
