About Raqresha
Raqresha Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with three years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and issues related to sexual orientation. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients make small, manageable changes.
In sessions she listens first and builds a working plan based on what the client says matters most. She uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot patterns in thinking and try out different responses to upsetting situations.
Mindfulness strategies are introduced to help lower reactivity and increase awareness during tense moments. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Psychodynamic ideas are sometimes drawn on to look at repeated relationship patterns and where they might come from.
She commonly helps with communication problems and impulsivity by teaching concrete skills for managing strong feelings and for saying what you mean without escalating. Work on self-love and confidence is practical and goal-focused, with steps a person can try between sessions.
Raqresha also has experience supporting young adult issues and working alongside people who have intellectual disabilities, concentrating on clear, accessible strategies. If someone wants to begin, she guides them through scheduling and next steps so the first session is straightforward.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Raqresha uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's concerns, offering a listening stance that centers what matters to the person. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through feelings of anger, stress, or identity-related worries and have those concerns heard before choosing a path forward.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for learning concrete skills to reduce reactivity, manage impulsivity, and practice different responses to triggering situations. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build simple awareness skills that reduce the chance of reacting in the moment and help with frustration and anxiety.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust tools over time based on what works best. The process is gradual and practical rather than prescriptive.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on practicing skills between meetings.
