Hello and welcome! I'm glad you made the decision to seek help. You did the right thing. My name is Rick Haynes. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping people solve life's problems. I am certain that with time and working together, I can help you as well. Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times making us feel depressed and anxious. Frequently, our mind seems to have a mind of its own, dwelling on worry and indecision. At those times, we suffer emotionally and aren't at our best either at home or work. Our self-esteem takes a hit, and we feel defeated. By reaching out for help, you have taken the first step toward feeling better. I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship forms the basis for someone to share thoughts and emotions and change her or his life for the better. Our sessions will provide you a safe place to explore your emotions and solve problems. Our starting point will be where you are now, work at pace you find comfortable, and discover ways for you to take charge and begin to feel better. You may feel stuck today, but with effort you will get unstuck. I find a combination of interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness exercises, and supportive psychotherapy to be most helpful to clients. In concert, this skill set helps a person change how they think, which changes how they feel and behave. We will set goals and solve problems in this practical hands-on manner. When you are ready, I may ask you to keep a journal of your thoughts. Awareness of your thinking patterns will be essential. If my experience and approach is what you are searching for, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.

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.

I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, career difficulties, executive coaching, & coping with life changes.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and regain a sense of emotional stability. My approach is warm, direct, and trauma‑informed. I believe people don’t heal in isolation — they heal in safe, supportive relationships where they feel seen, heard, and understood. Clients often come to me when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying emotional burdens alone. Together, we work to untangle the patterns that keep you in survival mode and build healthier ways of coping, communicating, and connecting. I integrate evidence‑based modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR (trained), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma‑responsive care. My style is structured yet compassionate — I help you understand the “why” behind your emotions while also giving you practical tools you can use right away. My work is grounded in emotional safety and trust, cultural humility, strength‑based, client‑centered care, clear goals and measurable progress and a non‑judgmental, supportive therapeutic relationship. I support clients navigating: Trauma and PTSD, anxiety and chronic worry, depression and emotional numbness, grief, loss, and life transitions, shame, self criticism, and low self worth, relationship stress and family conflict, alcohol and substance use, burnout and compassion fatigue and identity development and personal growth I also have extensive experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and integrated behavioral health settings. Therapy with me is collaborative, structured, and empowering. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your emotional patterns, tools to regulate your nervous system, healthier boundaries and communication skills, space to process trauma safely, and support in rebuilding confidence and self trust My goal is to help you move from surviving to living with clarity, purpose, and emotional resilience. If you’re ready to begin your healing process, I would be honored to walk with you.

Find a therapist near you in Woodland Mills, Tennessee

Finding a therapist near you in Woodland Mills, Tennessee starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Tennessee is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Tennessee, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

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 can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Tennessee

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Tennessee, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
