About Lolitia
Lolitia Medley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with seven years of clinical experience, practicing in Tennessee. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Guilt and shame are among the areas she addresses alongside challenges like low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Medley uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people handle difficult feelings. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking, and making choices that align with a person’s values.
She often helps people sort out relationship patterns and family of origin issues, including abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. She also works with first responder issues, compassion fatigue, and mood concerns such as Seasonal Affective Disorder and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD).
In practical terms, Medley aims to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Treatment can include learning distress tolerance skills from DBT, testing thoughts with CBT, or clarifying values with ACT. Narrative techniques may be used to reframe painful experiences and reduce shame.
Sessions are conducted in English and Medley does not take international clients. Payment and scheduling use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps that reflect those values. It helps when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck by shifting attention to meaningful actions rather than only trying to eliminate painful feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It can shorten the distance between feeling overwhelmed and trying new, more helpful thinking patterns for anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It offers practical tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can be used during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs and goals, and may combine elements from different approaches depending on what helps most. Decisions about techniques and priorities are made together across sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to schedule around work or family commitments and to use tools and worksheets between meetings to practice new skills.
