Donna Thompson-Lisiecki , LPC

Donna Thompson-Lisiecki brings two decades of dedication to helping people pursue meaningful change and greater well-being. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia - a professional credential that authorizes practice in counseling - and has spent 20 years working with individuals and groups across a range of settings. Donna is a practicing Reality Therapist who asks clients to engage actively in the work of change, believing that effort and motivation are essential to move beyond stuck patterns, depression, anger, and lethargy.

At home she is happily married, a mother of two, and became a grandmother in December 2021. She shares her life with an assortment of fur companions and enjoys gardening, art, music, travel, and the hands-on project of renovating a 1972 Avion. These personal interests inform her warm, grounded approach to care.

Donna has experience with adults and children, offering support for stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career issues, and coping with life changes. She is known for a non-judgmental, supportive manner and a commitment to helping people develop practical tools and skills that foster inner calm and renewed purpose. Her single rule for therapy is simple - be 100 percent honest - a guideline she views as essential for progress in both traditional and virtual sessions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Donna Thompson-Lisiecki

Donna draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s goals and values lead the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening and helps with self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals and couples understand and shift core emotional responses that underlie conflict and disconnection. EFT can be especially helpful for improving intimacy, communication, and attachment-related challenges.

Mindfulness therapy is woven into her practice to support grounding, stress reduction, and better regulation of strong emotions, which can aid in anxiety, trauma recovery, and coping with change.

Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a convenient alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapy from different locations and schedules.
