Lisa Robinson
Christian Counselor,
Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri.
I love working with teens, women, and couples
who struggle with anxiety, depression, and stress that has taken over their life.
Many clients find it helpful to bring their faith and relationship with God into the counseling room; although, this is not a requirement for working with me. When invited, I love to pray during sessions, utilize the Bible, and invite the Holy Spirit to bring wisdom, encouragement, and healing.
My counseling approach is relational and approachable. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment while using my training and experience to offer insight, gentle challenge, and practical tools—so meaningful change, relief, and breakthrough can take place.
Reach out today to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation.
Awaken to New Life Counseling
"Joy does not simply happen to us.
We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day."
--Henri Nouwen
Are you drowning in anxiety that keeps you up at night?
Do you struggle to shut down your brain and stop your thoughts from swirling with worries and fears?
Are stress and depression eating you up inside?
Are you afraid to tell people that you're really not "fine." That you're actually feeling very overwhelmed, numb, and paralyzed by all the emotions swirling inside of you that you don't fully understand and don't know how to describe.
Maybe it's time you stop facing it alone.
Experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression are a normal and valid part of life. However, you are not meant to live there everyday! You can experience freedom, healing, and learn to grab onto hope and joy in this life.
I'm a Counselor who longs to help others discover hope and joy and to move forward into a life filled with purpose. I do this in the following ways:
-
I collaborate with you to fully understand all you are experiencing on a daily basis.
-
I help you learn healthy ways to cope with anxiety, stress, and depression.
-
I help you discover the motivation and drive that will allow you to take those steps.
-
We work together to set healthy boundaries around your time, energy, and focus.
-
I walk with you to support you as you discover your identity based on life values and how to live in the best version of yourself.
-
I combine this with a faith-based approach for those wanting to incorporate Biblical values.

After surviving the tragic & unexpected loss of my husband in 2013, moving through my own journey of suffering and counseling, I discovered a new purpose & direction in my life. I decided to pursue & complete my Master's in Counseling through Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, which I completed in May 2020.
I completed my supervision and gained my License in Professional Counseling (LPC) in October 2022. I am very excited to get to know you, collaborate to work towards your counseling and life goals, and help you discover the person you long to be.
Life is an ongoing journey of trials and challenges that cannot be avoided. You are not alone on this journey. I am here to help guide you, find coping skills, and help you find healing and wholeness.
I utilize the following types of therapies: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and integrate them with a Christian, Biblical worldview. I work with teens, adults, and couples to deal with issues such as: communication, grief, identity, relationships, boundaries, marriage, anxiety, depression, and more.
I now have a Counseling Intern, Jill Brant, working with me! She is continues to grow into a wonderful therapist with a heart for helping others find healing. She offers a discounted rate for more affordability.
Jill Brant
Counseling Intern
Under Supervision of Lisa Robinson, LPC-S
MO License #2020036169
I am a counseling intern with a background in social work, including experience in crisis care. I have a passion for walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges.
My experience includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), with a focus on helping clients increase self-awareness, regulate emotions, and achieve treatment goals. My approach focuses on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—creating a safe, supportive space where clients can process their experiences, gain clarity, and feel genuinely seen and heard.
I have been married for 33 years and am the mother of two grown children. Our family continues to grow, and I feel deeply grateful to welcome daughters-in-law into this meaningful new season of life. Over the years, I have experienced both deep joy and significant hardship, including the loss of loved ones, miscarriage, parenting challenges, supporting a child with learning differences, and navigating relational struggles. These experiences have shaped my perspective and deepened my compassion for others.
I believe that while life brings seasons of disappointment, rejection, stress, anxiety, depression,and grief, it also offers opportunities for growth, healing, peace, and renewed hope. In life’s darkest valleys, I have found that God’s Word faithfully provides light, direction, and hope. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients can process their thoughts, gain clarity, and feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.
For those who are open to it, I thoughtfully integrate faith into the counseling process, believing that God invites us to ask, seek, and knock, and faithfully opens the door so we may move forward with clarity and purpose. No matter the season or transition you are facing, I am committed to walking alongside you—offering evidence-based techniques, practical tools, and compassionate care to help bring light and direction to your journey.
