About Ondria
Ondria Spivey is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship and family problems, grief, depression, career concerns, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also works with matters related to adoption and foster care, family of origin dynamics, fertility questions, forgiveness, and life purpose. With two dozen years of clinical experience, she brings a long history of work across inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings and has held leadership roles directing clinical programs for youth and outpatient services.
Her style blends practical psychological tools with the values that matter to each person. Ondria integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused interventions, tailoring methods to the needs and goals of each client.
A follower of Christ, she offers faith-informed support when clients desire it while also applying contemporary therapeutic concepts to help people shift unhelpful thoughts, repair relationships, and find greater meaning. She now maintains an independent practice, inviting collaboration as clients pursue more resilient, balanced, and purpose-driven lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and beliefs so feelings and behaviors can shift in healthier directions; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which can help with grief, life changes, and persistent distress. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe and reinterpret life stories to separate identity from problems and create new possibilities for relationships and purpose.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress and practical change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or maintain continuity of care during transitions. These options let clients choose how they communicate while working with licensed professionals to address stress, trauma, relationships, and other concerns from wherever they are located in Tennessee.
