About Lolitia
Lolitia Medley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She uses clear, action-oriented methods to help clients build self-esteem, manage anger, and find direction. Her approach aims to make progress feel manageable and real.
Medley draws from several evidence-based therapies to shape sessions around each person’s needs. She often combines strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to reduce unhelpful thinking and increase values-driven action.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Sessions tend to emphasize concrete tools and small experiments to try between meetings. That might mean practicing new communication habits, testing beliefs that hold someone back, or setting short-term goals to regain momentum.
The work moves at a steady, practical pace rather than rushing toward labels. She also addresses identity-related concerns such as gender dysphoria and LGBT matters, and supports people coping with compassion fatigue or first responder stress. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and family of origin themes when these come up in personal work.
Medley brings seven years of counseling experience and holds LPC credentials in Michigan and Tennessee. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It helps people who feel stuck or unsure of their direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; these skills suit people who need steady tools for strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on each person’s goals and preferences. That means the plan can shift as progress is made or new needs appear, rather than locking someone into one method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit work into a busy life. Video calls allow a full session similar to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in between meetings, get brief coaching, or use written reflection when talking by voice feels hard. These options make it easier to keep regular work going and try therapeutic tools in day-to-day situations.
