About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Scarbrough is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anger, stress, and relationship struggles. He writes straightforward goals with each person and focuses on practical steps they can use at home and at work. Jeffrey communicates with respect and directness, and he aims to make conversations feel useful from the first session.
He has 17 years of experience and practices in Tennessee as a Tennessee LMFT.
Background and approach
Much of his work has involved adolescents in intensive group settings, and he also meets with adults, couples, and families. That background shapes how he notices patterns and guides people toward healthier interactions. Jeffrey uses client-centered conversations to understand each person’s values and priorities.
He pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Mindfulness skills and solution-focused strategies are added when they fit the client’s goals. In sessions he works on communication skills, coping tools for anxiety and anger, and ways to handle setbacks without losing progress.
He also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, or major life changes. Treatment plans are adapted to what each person needs and wants to accomplish. Jeffrey aims to create clear next steps after every meeting.
He encourages small, measurable changes and checks in on progress. The overall tone is practical, steady, and focused on moving forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy starts with listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist asks about your priorities, values, and practical goals, then shapes conversations around them to keep work relevant and grounded.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions often include simple at-home exercises, thought records, and plans you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety or anger responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean combining client-centered listening with CBT tools or adding brief solution-focused steps to track progress quickly.
Online formats offer flexibility in how people connect. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short ongoing tasks or reminders. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, and other responsibilities while focusing on real-world changes.
