About Brandi
Dr. Brandi Treadway is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 14 years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people through relationship and life changes, and she centers each session on the person in front of her.
Her practice often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and grief around transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. Many clients seek help with self-esteem, career direction, and issues connected to identity and multicultural stressors.
Background and approach
Dr. Treadway uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. That means she listens for the stories people tell about themselves, helps them notice patterns, and then works with them to try new ways of thinking and acting.
Mindfulness and emotionally-focused tools are added when they fit the goals of the work. In sessions she helps clients build practical coping skills, improve communication, and repair or reframe difficult relationship dynamics. She also explores attachment and family-of-origin themes when those areas show up.
Her style is warm, direct, and focused on small changes that matter day to day. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. People who contact her complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How narrative and practical therapies work online
Dr. Treadway draws on Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they live by and consider alternative narratives that fit their goals. This approach can be useful for identity, family history, and meaning concerns. Client-centered therapy is also part of her work and focuses on listening closely, following the client's lead, and creating space for honest reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these approaches, targets specific thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress unfolds. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to keep or change as the work moves forward.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper relational work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing connection between longer sessions.
