About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Scarbrough is a Tennessee licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. He also addresses issues related to intimacy, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and young adult transitions.
He has spent much of the past decade working with adolescents in intensive group therapy settings. That work shaped his skills in managing disruptive behaviors and emotional regulation, including experience with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). He also works with adults on blended family challenges, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and first responder issues.
Jeffrey uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversations, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try small changes, and build useful coping skills.
He approaches sessions with directness and respect, focusing on clear goals and measurable steps. People can expect focused discussion, skill practice, and follow-up between meetings when appropriate. Jeffrey draws on years of practice to adapt methods to what a person needs in the moment.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jeffrey often works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered practice. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change patterns that sustain problems. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflective conversation to clarify goals and priorities.He also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These methods can help with stress, cravings, anger, and emotional regulation by giving short, repeatable tools to use between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift over time as progress is tracked and priorities change.
