About Trelease
Trelease Hartfield is a Georgia-based clinician with sixteen years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She holds an MD and is licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor. Trelease draws on her own life experience when she supports clients, including perspectives shaped by living with an amputation.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and breaks problems into steps that can be tried between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills people can use at home - coping strategies, emotion management, and clearer communication. She also addresses issues around self-esteem, motivation, and relationship concerns. Trelease uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test them in real life.
She includes mindfulness practices to help with stress and anxiety symptoms. For people with traumatic memories, she brings trauma-focused approaches to reduce the hold of painful experiences. She works with a broad range of concerns, including anger, parenting stress, career questions, ADHD-related challenges, and problems tied to illness or chronic pain.
Trelease also supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt, shame, or the aftermath of domestic violence and divorce. Her approach is collaborative: she treats each person as the expert on their life and builds plans around their goals. New clients complete a brief questionnaire to match on goals and schedule sessions.
Trelease offers a steady, practical presence for people ready to make changes.

Approaches Trelease lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot thought patterns that feed anxiety or anger and then try new ways of thinking and behaving. It often uses short exercises and experiments you can practice between sessions to see what changes help most.Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing habits to reduce stress and reactivity. These practices teach noticing emotions as they arise and choosing how to respond rather than reacting automatically.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the impact of painful memories and the feelings they trigger. It uses paced techniques so memories feel less overwhelming and daily life becomes easier to manage.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods and adjust the plan based on what fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions provide practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face when discussion and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
