About Raylissa
Raylissa Batten is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years in the mental health field. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people facing stress and anxiety. Her approach centers on strengths and small steps that fit everyday life.
She spends time learning what matters most to each person. Then she helps build simple tools for coping with worry, low mood, or relationship strain. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving confidence, managing nerves, or finding more motivation.
Background and approach
Her background includes more than a decade of counseling experience in Tennessee. That work has involved common concerns like parenting stress, relationship communication problems, and self-esteem challenges. Raylissa also addresses patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and blended family transitions.
She draws on a mix of evidence-based methods including acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered conversation. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior work also appear in sessions when useful. Everything is offered in a way people can use between meetings.
People meet with Raylissa to talk through practical steps, practice new ways of responding, and set doable goals. She aims to make therapy feel collaborative and focused on real-life changes rather than abstract theory. Her style is warm, direct, and geared toward steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks worries and mood problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can practice different responses and see change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping clients find their own solutions at a comfortable pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit. Sessions are collaborative so methods can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lighter check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow short updates, skill coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from work, between errands, or from different parts of Tennessee.
