Raqresha Talley, LPC

Raqresha Talley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She uses clear, practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping people take small steps that lead to real change.

Raqresha emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly about what they feel and think. She listens closely and tailors sessions to each person’s goals. Together they set achievable targets and track progress over time.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping strategies. She also brings client-centered techniques to focus on each person’s strengths and values. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools may be added when someone wants help with motivation or staying present.

Raqresha has three years of professional experience in counseling. She has supported people facing communication problems, impulsivity, self-love challenges, and issues common to young adults. She also works with individuals who identify as LGBT and people with intellectual disability concerns.

Practical steps are a regular part of sessions - simple exercises, brief skill practice, and planning for real-life situations. If someone is nervous about starting, Raqresha acknowledges that first step and helps make the process manageable.

Practical approaches for online counseling

Raqresha uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot patterns of thinking that increase worry or sadness and then try small changes to test new habits. She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening, reflecting, and helping each person find their own direction. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm attention and reduce reactivity in everyday moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Raqresha talks with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapts methods to fit what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides adjustments over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people have a face-to-face style meeting, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reminders and brief problem-solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives or to choose the way that feels most comfortable.
