Dr. Lacrecia Dangerfield

Dr. Lacrecia Dangerfield is a Tennessee licensed professional counselor with mental health service provider status - LPC-MHSP - and 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on life purpose, midlife questions, caregiver stress, and workplace struggles.

Dr. Dangerfield frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily routines. From there she and the client identify a few concrete steps to test between meetings. Sessions often focus on clear goals such as improving communication, managing low mood, or coping with loss.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative methods, and solution-focused strategies. That mix is used to look at how past relationships shape current feelings, to change unhelpful thinking, and to try new behaviors that make daily life easier.

People often come when they feel stuck after a change - a breakup, a job shift, or a season of low motivation. In early meetings she helps clarify which problem to tackle first and what small, measurable progress might look like. She also supports work on forgiveness, self-love, and navigating multicultural concerns.

Practical matters such as caregiving load, seasonal mood shifts, or workplace conflict are discussed alongside emotions. The emphasis is on steps a person can use between sessions to notice change and adjust the plan as needed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape how someone reacts now. Online sessions can use that framework to map relationship patterns and try new ways of connecting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative behaviors. Online meetings are well suited to setting practice tasks and reviewing what worked between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, preferences, and day-to-day life and recommend which methods to emphasize. That recommendation is flexible and adjusted as you notice what is or isn’t helpful.

The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit a short check-in on a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use fewer resources when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use the same structured CBT tasks and narrative exercises in remote meetings, and those tools translate into short practical steps you can try between sessions.
