About Lacrecia

Dr. Lacrecia Dangerfield greets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with individuals who are struggling with low mood, relationship strain, grief, or low self-esteem. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she explains therapy in clear, plain language so people know what to expect.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider, LPC-MHSP, practicing in Tennessee with 20 years of experience. She uses a tailored approach, shaping conversations and plans to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.

Dr. Dangerfield draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts. Narrative and solution-focused tools are used when they fit a person's goals and style.

People can expect straightforward dialogue and a plan that fits their life. She pays attention to cultural background and to common stressors like workplace strain, caregiver demands, and seasonal mood changes. Her approach emphasizes small, doable changes alongside longer-term reflection.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior and can help with anxiety, trust issues, and relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Narrative therapy invites people to tell their story differently, separating problems from a person and opening space for choice and change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and priorities change.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to continue work while managing caregiving or workplace demands.
