About Raqresha

Raqresha Talley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to support people struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical strategies that help clients recognize thinking patterns, build healthier behaviors, and practice present-moment awareness to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. With three years of professional experience, she creates a welcoming therapeutic space where clients can explore emotions and concerns without fear of judgment.

She encourages those considering therapy to view the first appointment as a brave and important step toward change, and tailors her approach to each person’s needs and goals.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Raqresha Talley uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often applied to stress, anxiety, low mood, and problems with impulsivity. She also incorporates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance to help clients feel heard and to support self-directed growth. Mindfulness techniques are blended in to teach present-focused awareness and stress-reduction skills that can complement cognitive and emotional work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Talley collaborates with each person to clarify goals, try methods that match their preferences, and adjust strategies over time so the therapy fits the client’s needs and values.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options provide flexibility for those balancing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, making it easier to maintain consistent care and access therapeutic tools between meetings.
