Lisset Pickens , LPC

Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, stress, anxiety, depression, and coaching for life transitions. Her practice also addresses attachment and intimacy-related issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and a range of family-of-origin and commitment concerns.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to reflect an individual’s specific circumstances and goals. Lisset uses established therapeutic methods to help people navigate communication problems, coping with change, forgiveness, and the emotional impacts of separation or fertility struggles. Her background supports work with both practical problems like parenting and career challenges and deeper issues such as emptiness, dependent personality patterns, and family conflict.

Lisset recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and she supports clients through that first step and beyond. She prioritizes a collaborative process that centers the client’s needs and preferences, tailoring interventions to promote clearer communication, strengthened relationships, and more effective coping with life’s demands.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy is a warm, collaborative approach that emphasizes listening and understanding the client’s experience. It helps people exploring identity, self-esteem, and relationship dynamics by creating a supportive space to reflect and grow.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. It is action-oriented and often useful for people seeking concrete strategies to change how they think and behave.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns within relationships. It helps partners and families improve emotional connection, resolve conflict, and address intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisset works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care while choosing the format that feels most comfortable and effective.
