Hello! You can call me Kalene (Kay-lean)! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015 and a social worker since 2013. I am experienced and what I like to call seasoned, as life has taught me many things through times of sorrow, pain, grief, and, other times, so much joy. My knowledge also comes from higher education and practice of that knowledge throughout my career. Each year, I meet licensing requirements by yearly obtaining continuing educational credits. Additionally, I am a doctorate student who completed all coursework with a 4.0 and in the research phase. Further, I am well-rounded and have experience working with young and older clients. Serving ten years in the military taught me how to and the importance of working with an array of different people from various backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, religions, sexualities, and overall different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. My passion is in supporting others through multiple parts of their journeys utilizing practical, evidence-based approaches. Some therapy strategies may include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, supportive therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, whole health, and a variety of other strategies or a mixture thereof. I want you to know that therapy is a process. The changes you want to see will only happen after some time, more than likely, but will result from various interactions we will have together, which will make a difference. I often refer to therapy as going to a chiropractor. You do not go to a chiropractor and say give me a spine. You have a spine, and all you need is an alignment. This means you are the true expert in your life, and you do have what you need. My plan in this current stage of your journey is to help you use what you have; sometimes, it just takes aligning things differently. I look forward to supporting you by first listening, clarifying what is heard, and advocating for your individuality, even in your partnership or marriage. Therapy strategies are not a one-size-fits-all. If you do not wish to have someone highly motivated, a positive and rational thinker who continually supports the use of your strengths and believes that YOU CAN every time, then I am not the one for you. I also incorporate many coaching and motivational principles as they are a part of my personality. Remember, you are unique, and for me to adjust what is needed, I will need your feedback and honesty regarding what is working or what you may need more. I look forward to supporting you during this part of your journey. Please participate and trust the process. Trust is a big word, but it will be well worth the journey!

My name is Larry Ivery, Sr. and I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor with the Mental Health Services Provider designation. I also have a small private practice as well as doing adjunct teaching for in the graduate program for a Christian University. I believe in the development of the therapeutic relationship and I am very approachable. My focus is with those who have depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, or have experienced other trauma issues in their lives. My treatment approaches are CBT, EMDR, Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing. I do group counseling as well. I tailor treatment to the specific needs of each client.

I believe that a sense of compassion is essential in dealing with life's challenges, and I take my work and my clients seriously. Seeking help is difficult enough, and it's my job to make the process easier by offering my clients a warm, empathic, and safe place to address their challenges and concerns. If you are struggling with a particular issue, or simply looking for a safe place to express yourself, I'm excited to begin the process with you. I am a clinical psychologist with 17 years of experience, and am currently licensed in Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas. I was excited to join the BetterHelp team because I have always believed that mental health services are more effective in a range of formats, and in a manner that makes them accessible anytime and anywhere. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, stress and adjusting to many of the challenges life throws our way. I utilize a client-centered approach (meaning that YOU are the expert on you) that will allow you to identify your own strengths and resources, as well as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based and dialectical behavior therapeutic approaches. I look forward to speaking with you!

Hello! My name is Autumn and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: private practice, outpatient, and school-based. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, life transitions, family conflicts, and relationship challenges. I was born and raised in Orange County, California, and currently reside in Nashville, Tennessee. I received an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I use a client-centered approach. This means that I begin where you are and view you as the experts on your life. It also means that you determine the direction and depth of therapy. I primarily use evidenced-based techniques, including: cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. However, based on your needs/presenting problems, I may also incorporate attachment-based therapy and psychodynamic therapy. I would describe my style as warm, real, and supportive. For me, the therapeutic relationship is important. I want you to not only feel comfortable with me but also to trust me. Therapy requires one to be vulnerable, which doesn’t happen if there isn’t a good rapport and therapeutic alliance. Collaboration is also important. Together we will work on establishing goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems. Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy playing soccer, watching sports, reading, cooking, spending time with my husband and children, and traveling to new places. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me! I look forward to helping you in any way I can!

Hi, I’m Monica, a licensed therapist and emotional clarity coach offering online therapy across Tennessee. For over a decade, I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, family dynamics, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and life transitions. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy offers a space to explore what’s underneath the surface and create meaningful change from the inside out. My approach is holistic, integrative, and trauma-informed. That means we won’t only focus on fixing problems, we're going to explore your experiences with compassion and curiosity, supporting your mind, body, and emotional world. Depending on your needs and comfort level, I may draw from tools like mindfulness, somatic practices, CBT, Brainspotting, or inner child work to help you reconnect with yourself and feel more grounded. At the heart of my work is the belief that every challenge holds a deeper invitation to know yourself more fully, to relate more intentionally, and to live in alignment with what matters most to you. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where you can process what’s been weighing on you, build emotional clarity, and begin living with more confidence, calm, and connection. If you’re ready to begin this next chapter of your healing, I’d be honored to walk with you. I currently have morning sessions available.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate complex issues such as addiction, trauma, abuse, grief, loss, and bipolar disorder.

I am also a Certified Employee Assistance Professional. Therapeutic Approach: I deeply believe that you are the expert of your own story.

Greetings! I am a trauma-informed, evidence-based, multi-modal, culturally aware, licensed professional psychotherapist and mental health service provider across the lifespan for over 14 years. I'm also a psychiatric nurse practitioner(be), family nurse practitioner(c) and mental health coaching for Tennessee and beyond. Prior to going back to graduate school, I had a 10 year career as a professional musician. These varied experiences have contributed to creating individualized approaches for each client. Recently, I decided I wanted a bit more of a work/life balance, which led me to Betterhelp. My approach is a bit different, I'm not just an active listener or reflector, I am willing to get in the trenches with you and dialogue. I'm also not afraid to self-disclose pieces of my experiences if I think it will contribute to your healing process. I'm a specialist in narcissistic victim syndrome, addiction, and conduct expert assessments for the judicial system. As a generalist, I work with mood, anxiety, and personality difficulties. I also work with individuals, couples, and families. Therapy is a purpose work for me and I'm invested in every client. You are the expert of your story and throughout therapy, we'll partner to tackle the most acute difficulties first. You'll gain inner strength, learn new coping mechanisms and develop tools to navigate your life. Most growth begins in the dark, and you'll have to do some serious soul-searching, considering, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, and facing difficult situations, thoughts and emotions. Therapy isn't for the faint of heart. A safe, non-judgmental environment is imperative. Once this process begins, you'll most likely find therapy exciting as we work together to curate your life. Curating uses the garden analogy. It can solely apply to your inner-world, but it's usually a reflection of your life as a whole. We continue pulling up and out the emotions, thoughts, situations, people, places, or things that no longer serve you. It's about gaining inner self worth, setting boundaries, pouring into yourself, and evolving. The exceptional thing about curating is that together, we will open up new space in your life for yourself or for new experiences to grow. The most important thing during the beginning is having the empathy, guidance, and support you need to overcome. As your therapist, the goal is never just to resolve, but to use the resolution phase to go beyond and curate the life experience you've truly wanted. Since I am just getting started with better help, I have plenty of spots and will try my best to provide flexible hours to compliment your schedule! In my opinion, there are no coincidences. If you landed on my page, and you're still here, there's a reason! I realize how difficult this first step is but you did it, and that speaks volumes. I would love to partner with you to help navigate through life's difficulties no matter what it is at the time, and together, you will heal and create the life you've truly wanted!
