About Lisset

Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, family conflicts, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, and depression. Her background includes work with attachment issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and fertility-related distress.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches. Those methods guide how she talks with clients about emotions, patterns, and practical steps to change. Sessions focus on naming feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying different ways of relating or deciding.

Her style is direct and conversational. She listens for what matters most, then suggests small experiments or new habits to try between sessions. She also works on skills for communication, setting boundaries, and handling big life changes.

Lisset brings attention to family of origin wounds, control issues, and commitment concerns. She supports parents navigating fatherhood issues, blended family dynamics, or caregiver burnout. When grief, separation, or disappointment come up, she helps people sort priorities and decide next steps.

Sessions are conducted in English. People who live outside the U.S. may be able to work with her; confirm international arrangements before booking. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Lisset Uses EFT and Related Approaches Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck. In practice this means naming core feelings, noticing how those feelings shape reactions, and trying new ways of responding to reduce repeating the same conflicts.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and pace. The therapist follows the person's concerns, reflects what is said, and supports clearer self-understanding and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood, using concrete exercises and experiments to test new habits.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Lisset will discuss goals, what matters most to the person, and try approaches that fit preferences and needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to work through communication practice, emotion-focused exercises, and CBT homework that fit everyday life.
