About Lolitia

Lolitia Medley is an LPC who centers her practice on cognitive and skills-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical tools and thought-work drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while also integrating acceptance-based and emotion-regulation strategies to support self-esteem, coping, and healing from past hurts. With seven years of clinical experience, she blends evidence-informed methods with warm, client-centered care.

Working from Tennessee, Medley addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and gender. Her additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, communication difficulties, family of origin challenges, and conditions such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

She also offers support around forgiveness, life purpose, isolation, and commitment concerns. Her style is collaborative and culturally attentive, aiming to help clients clarify values, rebuild resilience, and reshape unhelpful patterns.

Medley combines motivational techniques and narrative methods to help clients reframe their stories and set meaningful goals, guiding each person toward greater self-understanding and practical change.

Online therapy rooted in practical, evidence-based approaches

Medley frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT emphasizes actionable strategies like cognitive reframing and behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports people in clarifying their values and learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful actions that align with those values.

Choosing the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss clients' concerns, goals, and preferences and tailor interventions from CBT, ACT, or other methods accordingly. This shared decision-making helps ensure techniques match the person's needs and that progress is continually reviewed and adjusted together.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity through life changes, and access care from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical skills and personal growth.
