About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Scarbrough brings 17 years of clinical experience to his Tennessee practice and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, and addictions.
Background and approach
He works with adults, couples, families, and adolescents, drawing on a client-centered stance that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. His work includes support for grief, intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and life transitions, as well as blended family dynamics, communication problems, process addictions, and infidelity.
Jeffrey combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused strategies, and he uses motivational interviewing to help clients explore and strengthen their own reasons for change. He aims to empower clients to take courageous steps toward a more satisfying life by collaborating on practical, individualized goals.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Jeffrey often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy into online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills and coping strategies. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an accepting, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens closely and tailors conversations to each person's priorities, which supports clients facing relationship, family, and life transition challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jeffrey works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their goals and preferences. He explores the client’s concerns, experiments with techniques, and adjusts the plan over time so treatment remains relevant and helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, or maintain regular contact when in-person visits are difficult. With a range of formats available, clients and therapists can choose how to pace work, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care.
