About Truly

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 14 years of experience, Truly Pollard helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, life changes, and depression. She works directly with individuals on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Sessions emphasize practical strategies alongside emotional work.

Truly focuses on building self-love and improving communication. She brings techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to everyday problems. That means clients learn skills to manage panic, reduce avoidance, and respond differently to painful memories.

Her approach includes client-centered practices that prioritize the person in the room. She acknowledges faith, identity, and values as part of each person's story. Conversations may cover questions of life purpose and spiritual grounding when relevant to the client's goals.

For people coping with post-traumatic stress or panic disorder, Truly blends skill-based tools with trauma-focused work. She also supports those navigating separation, forgiveness, and rebuilding after relationship strain. Practical homework and concrete communication exercises are common parts of the work.

Truly aims to be a steady presence while helping clients try new ways of handling hard feelings. She offers direct feedback and short-term skills as well as longer-term relational work depending on what the person needs. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions using ACT typically include values-setting exercises and practical behavior changes to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this often looks like identifying thought patterns, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. When used in telehealth-style work, DBT skills are taught and practiced, then applied to real-life situations the client brings up in sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new issues emerge.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to combine skill teaching, in-session practice, and brief between-session assignments to support daily life.
