About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Scarbrough is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Tennessee with 17 years of experience. He works with adults on anger, relationships, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns. He also addresses issues like self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and intimacy-related problems.
Jeffrey spent a decade working with adolescents in intensive group therapy, which shaped his practical approach to behavior and communication. He also has extensive experience with adults, couples, and family concerns and with first responder issues and blended family situations. That background informs how he talks through patterns that lead to repeated arguments or simmering resentment.
In sessions he blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. He uses mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing to help people notice triggers and try different responses. Sessions typically include clear, simple steps to practice between meetings so new habits can form.
He aims for straightforward conversation rather than jargon. Clients can expect direct feedback, chances to try skills in session, and plans that focus on daily life. Progress is measured by practical changes such as fewer heated interactions, clearer boundaries, or better communication.
Jeffrey provides services in Tennessee and offers sessions in English. His LMFT credential reflects his professional standing in the state. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jeffrey often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness skills. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely to what matters most and shapes the conversation around those concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change reactions. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices to notice triggers and reduce automatic responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. The first sessions usually assess what causes the anger, what keeps it happening, and which skills feel manageable to practice between meetings.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists who offer video or phone sessions often use those formats to practice skills in real situations and to follow up on homework between meetings.
