About Lisa

Lisa Haughey is a licensed professional counselor with a long career grounded in cognitive behavioral approaches and practical, solution-focused work.

Background and approach

She draws on 34 years of experience across addiction treatment, mental health, and life coaching to help people develop clearer thinking patterns, coping skills, and forward-focused strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, and substance concerns. Her practice emphasizes practical tools that support behavior change and emotional regulation while honoring each person's values and life context.

Haughey brings a warm, interactive style that balances empathy with straightforward guidance. She works with issues that include relationships, career decisions, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy and sexual expression concerns, and trauma histories, and she also supports clients navigating bipolar disorder, ADHD, and recovery from addiction.

Licensed in Georgia (LPC) and with additional licensure in Arizona, she incorporates acceptance and mindfulness practices alongside motivational and client-centered techniques to tailor care to individual needs. Clients can expect a respectful, nonstigmatizing environment where honest feedback and skill-building are central to making meaningful change.

CBT, Acceptance, and Mindfulness for Online Care

Lisa Haughey integrates cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance and mindfulness practices to address patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding, which is useful for managing mood, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify their values and commit to actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle observation of thoughts and sensations to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which combination of techniques best matches their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Sessions emphasize practical skill-building, tailored interventions, and ongoing adjustment of strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or when travel is difficult. These formats allow consistent work on behavioral tools, mindfulness exercises, and values-based planning while maintaining continuity of care across locations and time zones.
