More about Lisa
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
My name is Lisa Spore and I have worked in the mental health field in Missouri for 14 years. Ten of those years have been as a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice. I believe in seeking out trainings in the latest techniques and polishing my skills to provide the best therapeutic experience my clients could ask for. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting (BSP), Somatic Experiencing, and use Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused Brief, and Client-Centered approaches in my practice.
Everyone is unique, and I embrace that uniqueness by tailoring therapy to each client. I provide therapy within a safe and judgement-free environment. I believe accepting the limits of the human condition increases client’s positive responses to support and encouragement in the therapeutic setting. While utilizing strong clinical skills, I recognize that integration of natural healing can promote a strong foundation for optimum personal growth. The mind-body balance is paramount to returning to a healthy and positive emotional state.
The Therapeutic relationship is recognized as the most important factor in a positive experience. In our sessions, we will work together to identify the best approach to address your specific needs. We will also explore any underlying emotional reactivity that could be increasing painful experiences. Evaluating current and past issues can assist us in recognizing how past events can negatively impact daily functioning. Solution focused techniques, Brainspotting, CBT, or Somatic Experiencing, in varying combinations, can all be used to alleviate distress.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She listens and gives helpful advice
Very experienced, I’m thoroughly impressed with her experience thus far in metal heath and grief. Thank you soo much.
Great therapist, listens and helps direct conversation, very open minded and intelligent and just a good conversation. Helped me alot with multiple areas of my life while I was struggling. Highly recommend Lisa and BetterHelp in general.
She’s the best therapist of all time!!
Tried 4 online therapists since 2018 and Lisa has been the best one. She cares
Best therapist after trying 4
It is very easy to be open with Lisa. She truly hears what is troubling you and offers constructive feedback to help you along your path to wellness. She has helped me to challenge my thought patterns and has been a great help to me. I am thankful to Lisa for all of her help and would highly recommend her!
Thank you for your help. Very happy with your expertise.
She's the only therapist I've ever had that actually makes sense to me, she really cares and is super relatable and funny, I really like how personable she is and her insights and knowledge cover a wide range of issues and she always knows exactly what to say. Love her.
Finding a good specialist on adult ADHD is nearly impossible and if you are a hyperactive late diagnosed adult you know what I mean. I really am glad Lisa understands the nature of my struggles when I don't. She hears me and the tools she offer are helpful and those are things I can start right after the session to make a small but immediate change.
Been w 4 therapists w Betterhelp so far. She is legit my favourite and I feel healing when I’m with her
Lisa is really nice and helped me a lot with getting over my trauma and progressing past that pain.
She’s amazing, we only had one session but she already understood a lot of me!
Lisa comes up with quite different perspectives which becomes helpful dealing with specific scenarios. I really appreciate her ability to make me approach the situations in a different manner. Her approach opens up your mind to many new thoughts and feelings.
Lisa is an incredibly patient and professional therapist. This being my first time, I was a bit nervous but forming a bond with Lisa happened very quickly. I really look forward to our weekly video chats which feel more like collaborative workshops rather than one-way conversations.
Lisa changed my life in the first 3 sessions. She was able to identify the root causes of a number of issues I face and has been able to gently work with me to move towards healing some significant past trauma. I highly recommend Lisa.
I find it so easy to open up with Lisa. This is my first experience with therapy and I'm very happy I started this journey.
Love working with Lisa! Respects my limits and boundaries, pushes me gently , sensitive but assertive, just the right balance for me. xoxo
Lisa has been excellent at using her insight to help me validate my own feelings and work through my problems in my own time, and she's created a safe space for me to do that. She recognises my own strengths and self awareness and seems to intuitively know how to help me to navigate difficult moments. She's been consistently supportive and communicative, not only via our live sessions but through text responses too. Thank you Lisa!
