About Lolitia

Lolitia Medley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience based in Tennessee. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, anger, depression, coaching, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.

Her practice emphasizes practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to address everyday struggles. In sessions she helps people name patterns, try new skills, and make choices that fit their values.

She commonly works with issues tied to relationships and identity, such as abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, commitment issues, and communication difficulties. Other focus areas include family of origin concerns, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people managing Seasonal Affective Disorder and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) related challenges.

Her approach mixes short-term skill building with reflective work on life story and meaning. That can look like learning emotion regulation skills, testing thoughts and beliefs, or practicing new ways to talk about needs. Sessions also include coaching elements for people seeking clearer goals and action steps.

She aims to work collaboratively, helping clients set concrete goals and track progress. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The clinician uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used for online care and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions that align with those values. It helps people move forward despite difficult thoughts or feelings rather than trying to eliminate them entirely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT tools can help when intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean focusing on skill-building first, then moving into narrative work, or blending elements from several approaches as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises for remote sessions so practical skills and values-focused work continue between meetings.
