Trelease Hartfield , MD, LCPC, LPC

Trelease Hartfield is a licensed clinician practicing in Georgia. She holds an MD and is both an LCPC and an LPC, and she brings 16 years of experience to her work. She aims to make starting therapy feel doable and straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Her background also includes support around self-esteem, coping with life changes, parenting concerns, workplace stress and career questions. Trelease works with people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, relationship and communication problems, and concerns tied to ADHD and panic attacks.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and trauma-focused therapy to help people manage thoughts, reduce reactivity, and build steady routines. Sessions typically involve talking through immediate problems, trying out new ways to respond, and practicing small skills between meetings.

Trelease also attends to identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues and body image, and to life challenges including chronic illness, amputee support, and veteran-related matters. She values the strengths people already have and helps them apply those strengths to everyday problems.

Getting started is explained simply: clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. Trelease offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for care

Trelease uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and many day-to-day worries.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach attention skills and grounding practices. Those tools can help with stress, rumination, and staying present during difficult moments.

Together she and the client decide which approach fits best. The therapist will listen to goals, weigh symptoms and preferences, and then make collaborative suggestions about techniques and pacing.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see and speak in real time while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or screens are not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and support consistent follow-up between meetings.
