About Trelease
Trelease Hartfield is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. She is licensed in Georgia and Maryland and offers care for adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Trelease also works with people navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career questions, ADHD, and issues related to trauma and abuse.
She draws on practical methods to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning skills to reduce distress, and trying small experiments between meetings. Trelease uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns, Mindfulness Therapy to slow down reactivity, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting daily life.
Trelease is open about her lived experience with amputation and uses that background when supporting others with chronic illness, disability, or body image concerns. She also addresses anger, impulsivity, isolation, and feelings tied to guilt or shame. Life purpose questions and feelings of being stuck after a life change are part of her focus.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with practical steps and check-ins to track progress. Sessions balance skill teaching with space to talk about emotions. People who want to clarify next steps in work, relationships, or health often find this approach helpful.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic methods and working online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that come from negative thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment attention and simple practice to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. It can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the ways past events affect current behavior and feelings by gently processing those memories and building coping skills.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and the issues that matter most. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan over time based on what helps in everyday life.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or sessions without video if bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Many people find that virtual sessions let them continue care after a move or while coordinating with other responsibilities.
