About Lisset
Lisset Pickens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing relationship strain, family and parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, career setbacks, anxiety, and depression. Her practice list also includes intimacy-related concerns and coping with life changes.
Pickens takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. She uses methods that help clients identify patterns, try new behaviors, and practice clearer communication. Conversations are practical and paced to fit what each person needs that week.
She draws on several therapy styles to support goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people test thoughts and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports understanding and naming feelings that affect relationships. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective and pace.
Pickens also addresses family-related topics such as blended family dynamics, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, fertility and parenting strains, and problems rooted in family of origin. She includes coaching techniques when people want focused, short-term work on specific goals.
Sessions are meant to be practical and solution minded while also attending to emotions beneath the surface. The therapist helps clients set small, doable steps between meetings. People who want clear communication skills, steadier mood management, or help navigating a major family change may find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means sessions start with what feels most pressing and move at a person’s pace. It helps when someone needs space to name concerns and make decisions without pressure.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It often includes short exercises between sessions and works well for anxiety, mood changes, and behavior patterns that affect relationships.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify recurring emotional responses and how those responses affect closeness. It is useful for reducing reactivity and improving understanding in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that can include short-term solution work or deeper emotional focus depending on needs.
