About Lolitia
Lolitia Medley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience based in Tennessee. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, and concerns common to LGBTQ clients.
Lolitia focuses on how early relationships and family of origin patterns shape how people relate now. She talks with clients about attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of abandonment. Sessions often include practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.
Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches. Lolitia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when clients need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify personal values and take small committed steps toward them. Narrative Therapy techniques are used to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to open different possibilities for identity and meaning.
People who come to Lolitia for help with family of origin issues or attachment concerns can expect clear explanations and collaborative planning. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new ways of communicating, and track progress over time. To begin, clients follow a short matching process and schedule a first session through the practice's intake flow.
Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for people wrestling with meaning, identity, or avoidance that comes from family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression and practicing clearer, more helpful responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when family of origin issues trigger strong reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lolitia will review your concerns and goals with you and suggest which methods to try first. She treats the process as a collaborative effort and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what is not.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
