Lolitia Medley

Lolitia Medley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life changes. She also helps clients dealing with relationship wounds, identity questions, and challenges common to LGBTQ individuals. She aims to create an affirming, straightforward space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Her work draws on several evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on small, useful steps clients can practice between meetings. Lolitia guides people to notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and track what changes help in everyday life.

She brings seven years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Michigan and Tennessee. That background informs a style that balances direct feedback with compassion. People often address issues like attachment wounds, codependency, abandonment, and communication problems in her sessions.

She also helps with specific concerns such as first responder stress, gender dysphoria, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder symptoms, seasonal affective disorder, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Lolitia works with clients to strengthen coping skills, clarify values, and rebuild self-esteem.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She supports people in reclaiming their stories, forgiving where possible, and planning concrete next steps. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT Shape Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer about their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are hard. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce distress and change behavior. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying tools, noting what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method up front.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to fit work, family, and other daily demands.
