    About Raqresha

    Raqresha Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. Her approach aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

    She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions are meant to help someone put words to their thoughts and notice what gets in the way of change. Raqresha encourages small, realistic steps that match each person’s pace and goals.

    Her work draws on Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change and to build motivation. She pairs this with client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and low mood.

    Mindfulness practices are offered to help with managing strong emotions and staying present in difficult moments. She also brings in psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns that affect current relationships and reactions. Together these approaches help people develop clearer choices and healthier habits.

    Raqresha has three years of professional experience as an LPC in Tennessee. She supports people working through communication problems, impulsivity, intellectual disability-related concerns, self-love, and issues common to young adults. Language support is English, and international clients are not accepted.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their reasons for change and increase motivation through guided conversation. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and reflecting back what matters to the person. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving them space to be heard and to set the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical strategies to test and shift unhelpful patterns.

    Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and comfort level. That way the plan can change over time based on what helps most.

    The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can allow for shorter check-ins, easier access from different locations, and a chance to practice skills in everyday settings. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for digital sessions so progress continues between meetings.
