Trelease Hartfield , MD, LCPC, LPC

Trelease Hartfield is a licensed therapist with 16 years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, loss, depression, and challenges to self-esteem and motivation. She brings particular experience in assisting clients coping with life changes, including amputee support, and speaks from lived experience as an amputee herself. Trelease works with individuals on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, ADHD, and a range of other concerns that affect daily functioning and well-being.

She holds MD, LCPC, and LPC credentials. MD indicates a medical degree, while LCPC and LPC are licenses that authorize professional practice in counseling and psychotherapy. Trelease believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths are vital resources for addressing current difficulties. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical steps toward change while honoring the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Trelease aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore goals, build confidence, and develop coping strategies for lasting change. She welcomes work with people across a wide range of life circumstances and identities, including LGBT clients and those processing grief or major transitions.

Approaches to Care and Online Participation

Trelease Hartfield uses evidence-informed approaches that are adaptable to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that help with emotional regulation, chronic stress, and coping after loss. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past traumatic events with strategies to process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Trelease works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time based on what proves most helpful for the client.

Online therapy with Trelease is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to continue care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
