About Lisset
Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, career difficulties, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching around motivation and confidence and supports people facing intimacy-related issues and depression.
Pickens focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving. Sessions aim to clarify what is happening now and what patterns from the past might be influencing current choices. She listens for recurring family roles and expectations and helps people notice how those patterns show up in relationships and work.
Her approach mixes talk and technique. She uses client-centered listening alongside tools from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused work to address thinking patterns, communication, and emotional connection. Solution-focused methods guide short-term goals and steps that can be practiced between sessions.
People often come to address family of origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, or commitment and communication problems. Pickens also supports concerns such as fertility-related stress, fatherhood questions, and handling separation or divorce.
Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Clients can expect reflections on how early family roles shape current behavior, concrete communication practice, and steps to test new approaches in everyday life. The therapist invites collaboration on goals and plans to track progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding of what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel heard, which can be useful when sorting family roles and expectations.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and develop new coping responses for anxiety, stress, or low mood.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and bonding in relationships. It helps people recognize emotional patterns and practice new ways of expressing needs and responding to partners or family members.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on what fits the client's goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. Plans can combine listening, skill practice, and goal-based steps that are reviewed as progress is tracked.
