Dr. Zoauntrist Oldham, LPC

Dr. Zoauntrist Oldham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience working in Georgia. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach is direct and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.

She keeps conversations focused and practical. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. She listens closely, then offers tools and strategies to try between visits. That might include small behavior changes, ways to shift difficult thoughts, or communication skills for tense moments.

Her background includes work across many life challenges such as body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and grief after divorce or separation. She also supports people facing panic attacks, mood concerns, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. The variety in her work means she adapts methods to fit the situation rather than using one fixed plan.

Dr. Oldham draws on a mix of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice patterns, learn new skills, and practice different ways of responding to hard feelings.

She emphasizes collaboration and respect. Together with each person she makes a plan that fits daily life and personal values. Small, steady changes are encouraged so progress feels realistic and lasting.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Dr. Oldham uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and improving daily routines. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept hard feelings while taking action that matters. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose.

She treats approach selection as a team effort. Early sessions include discussing goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person’s life and values.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat or text can be used for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, caregiving schedule, or periods of limited travel.
