One of the famous landmarks in Fayetteville is the remains of the old stone bridge, which was built in the mid-1800s and didn’t begin to collapse until the mid-1960s due to flooding. Life is filled with many bridges between different events and people, but sometimes those bridges crumble.

When your bridges are crumbling, and you aren’t sure how to build a bridge to a better life, you should reach out to Fayetteville-area counselors. A confidential and licensed therapist  can help you examineyour life and find new ways to build it. Contact a counselor today.

Hi, I’m Trish. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life’s more complex emotional challenges. I’m licensed in TN, KY, and SC, and have worked across a variety of settings, including private practice, outpatient care, victim services, and higher levels of care. I know that reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I’m really glad you’re here. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to you. I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to therapy—everyone’s experiences are different, and our work together will reflect what feels most helpful and meaningful for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported without judgment. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, to help you better understand your emotions, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. We’ll work at your pace, focusing on your strengths while gently exploring the areas that feel more difficult. I also have extensive experience in trauma work, including PTSD, abuse, domestic violence, and complicated grief. Supporting individuals through trauma and loss has been a significant part of my work, and I’m passionate about helping people move from feeling overwhelmed or stuck toward a greater sense of stability, strength, and self. Whether you’re navigating a recent challenge or something that’s been building over time, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as we work toward healing, growth, and a more balanced life. I look forward to connecting with you.

Hey, I think it’s time for a deep breath! The more we chase speculation the more we turn those things into a mental drain. Most of us just need to slow things down and relax, to let our natural gifts come to the surface. Sometimes the assets in our toolboxes get a little rusty. I can help you re-discover them for current and upcoming challenging scenarios. For over 30 years my client base has encompassed individuals, couples, and families in a number of diverse areas. I have counseled in homes, organizations, schools, places of worship, and the military. Ten years of international experience allows me to assess relationships from a variety of diverse angle. I prefer to work with my clients in the present and future. It was Winston Churchill’s wife that said “ You are strong because you are imperfect, you are wise because you have doubts.” So being imperfect and having doubts is important. I'd like to think I’m practical and motivating, with a dash of humor. I'm available Monday - Friday from the AM: 5:00, 6:15, 7:30, 8:45, 11:30 and in the PM: 12:45, 2:00, 3:15, 4:30. And also Saturday: 5:00, 6:15, 7:30, 845. All in CST time zone. My clients set their own day/times with the BetterHelp Scheduler. Folks after 30 years of walking down this career path I know at this time in my life what I'm good at, and ones that I'm moving on from. As a result I have a narrow range of clients. I have been involved with all the noted areas below – believe I’ve left behind a good tradecraft in those areas that covered many years. My best interests are with you - giving you the best service you deserve. So based on the above, I’m don’t take clients in the following areas: pornography, ADHD, domestic violence, clients 29 and below, anxiety, A&D&Vape, anxiety, LBGTQ, pre-marital counseling, suicidal ideation (under a year), and those wanting live chat therapy only. A&D&Vape, anxiety, MOST IMPORTANT, on the first session - the use of a firehose strategy doesn’t work out for the both of us. You know the firehose – info bombarding because you want to get me up to date, an emotionally charged dump of data that I can’t keep up with – a waste of the first session. I need you to entrust your case to me - everything will come to the surface soon; but there’s a method for that. To me the first session is important - the last thing I want to do is waste our time. I look forward to talking with you!

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.

Tennessee is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Online therapy makes it easier to connect with a therapist near you without being limited to nearby offices. BetterHelp connects you with licensed therapists authorized to practice in Tennessee, allowing you to attend sessions online from the comfort of your home.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Tennessee (TN). Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Tennessee, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists on BetterHelp support adults across Tennessee with a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including:

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Tennessee

When searching for a therapist near me in Tennessee, many people compare online therapy with traditional in-person care. Online therapy offers several potential advantages:

  • Flexible scheduling: Sessions that fit around work, family, or school commitments
