About Tenethrea
Tenethrea Buffington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and parenting challenges. Her style is straightforward and strengths-based, aiming to help people take realistic steps toward better daily functioning.

Background and approach
Tenethrea helps clients boost confidence, manage anger, and find motivation when life feels stalled. Work often centers on relationships and communication. She assists with intimacy-related concerns, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family conflict.
She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, and the emotional effects of career change. Tenethrea supports people navigating mood disorders such as depression and bipolar conditions, and she offers coaching-style collaboration for ADHD and executive-function challenges. Practical coping techniques and step-by-step planning are common parts of her approach.
Sessions are delivered in ways that fit a busy life, including video, phone, chat, and messaging. She speaks English and practices in Georgia. Beginning therapy is framed as a courageous first step, and she aims to provide steady, goal-focused support along the way.

Evidence-based approaches for online parenting support
Tenethrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for stress and anxiety management, teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving tools that can be used during day-to-day parenting moments. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns, helping people practice clearer requests, boundary setting, and conflict navigation to reduce household tension.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your life and preferences. Together you will track what helps and adjust strategies as needed to meet parenting and personal goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can serve for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, school runs, or times when a shorter touchpoint feels most useful.
