Firstly, visit a psychologist and then a counsellor/therapist, as they will be the best to know what exactly it is and the pattern too. They will be able to not only know but also give you a clear understanding and patterns of that person, also how you could go about dealing with it.

whom should you consult for this depend on what you want to do after such understanding. Is it for you or someone else ? Only understanding doesn't provide much solution, most of time we have understanding but still no action or improvement. If you or someone want help regarding this issue ,consult psychologist or if you want just understanding in that case Google it .
Next Steps
go for counselling

Habits like lying are mostly concerning personality traits, behaviours that have been formed due to the childhood living environment etc. A psychologist, I think, is the right person to deal with it in the initial stage. Further courses of action could open up after consulting a psychologist.
