About Trelease
Trelease Hartfield is a licensed clinician practicing in Georgia with sixteen years of experience. She holds an MD and is credentialed as an LCPC and LPC. She often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes, and brings personal insight into challenges related to amputation.
Her approach is direct and practical. She helps people break big problems into small steps. Sessions focus on clear strategies for coping, building confidence, and managing intense emotions.
Background and approach
Trelease encourages clients to use their own strengths as the basis for change. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thinking and to build present-moment skills. When past trauma is involved, she applies trauma-focused methods to reduce its ongoing impact.
Her work blends skill teaching with support for the emotional parts of change. Trelease often helps people tackle relationship stress, parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and communication. She also addresses anger, impulsivity, career transitions, and questions about life purpose.
She supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability and those working through shame, guilt, or abandonment. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still attending to emotions. Trelease invites people to try small experiments between meetings and to notice what helps.
She works collaboratively to adjust plans as progress is made.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Trelease commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and ease daily stress.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to cause distress. That approach helps people process painful memories and reduce their emotional hold over present life. Together these approaches give practical skills and ways to process feelings that can be applied between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Trelease works with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and pace. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits how someone is progressing and what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, and for people who prefer writing over speaking.
