About Lolitia

Lolitia Medley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on Narrative Therapy alongside practical, skills-based approaches. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Her work emphasizes identity, self-esteem, and guiding clients toward clearer personal direction.

She creates a calm, accepting space where people can tell their stories and examine the beliefs that shape them. Through conversation she helps clients name painful patterns like abandonment, codependency, or isolation.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns such as anger, guilt, seasonal mood shifts, and complications from first responder work. Her approach pairs story-focused work with techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. That mix lets her help people change unhelpful thinking while also practicing new behaviors in everyday life.

She uses motivational interviewing to support commitment to goals and moments of change. Medley has seven years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Michigan and Tennessee. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and emphasizes practical tools alongside deeper reflection.

Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and revisiting personal narratives to shift how clients view themselves and their choices. People who come for help can expect clear goals and options tailored to their needs. She supports work on family of origin issues, attachment, communication problems, gender dysphoria, and forgiveness.

The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based approaches work online

Therapy with this clinician often combines Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative, more helpful ways to describe life events. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches values-based action and helps people accept difficult feelings while moving toward goals.

She will collaborate with each person to choose the best mix of approaches. That means discussing goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to focus more on story work, skill practice, or a mix of both.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and shape therapy around a person’s day-to-day life.
