About Lolitia
Lolitia Medley is an LPC with seven years of practice experience in Tennessee. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and issues around identity and compassion fatigue. Her work also covers coaching and support for LGBT concerns and life changes.
She uses clear, structured methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer concrete skills for coping and emotion regulation.
In sessions she talks through communication problems, attachment and codependency concerns, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, first responder stresses, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Work may include addressing guilt, shame, and isolation while exploring values and life purpose.
Lolitia uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy techniques when useful to clarify goals and reframe unhelpful stories people tell about themselves. That combination helps people notice patterns and test alternative responses in everyday life. She encourages short practices and small behavior changes to build momentum.
People can expect focused, practical conversations that aim to reduce symptoms and increase usable coping tools. The therapist asks about current goals and adapts what is practiced based on how those tools work in real life. Follow-up plans emphasize actions clients can try between sessions.
How online sessions use CBT, ACT and DBT
Online sessions with this therapist draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on identifying patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and tracking how changes affect mood and functioning.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build willingness to accept difficult internal experiences while taking action toward meaningful goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness strategies when those skills are needed.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which method or combination fits best based on current goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. That decision can change as progress is made and problems evolve.
