Raylissa Batten

Raylissa Batten is a Tennessee licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 18 years in the mental health field and more than a decade of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self‑esteem, and depression. Raylissa invites people wondering what comes next to talk through the practical problems that make daily life harder. She centers sessions on the client’s own story and strengths. Raylissa uses a mix of evidence-based methods to build skills for managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are aimed at clearer choices, steadier moods, and better everyday functioning rather than quick fixes. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and family of origin issues, and relationship patterns such as codependency and commitment worries. Raylissa helps people sort communication problems, control issues, and role strain from caregiving or divorce. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to help with decision-making, reducing avoidance, and learning new ways to handle strong emotions. For someone feeling stuck after a job change, a breakup, or a busy caregiving season, sessions focus on small, practical steps. The first meetings often clarify what matters now and which habits to try adjusting. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Raylissa uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. It can be useful for someone doubting career steps or feeling directionless after a major change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical behavior experiments. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and improving confidence in everyday tasks.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These skills can be helpful for relationship strain, codependency, and problems with strong avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raylissa treats choice of methods as a collaborative decision based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions are used to see which strategies fit and how to adapt them for real life situations.
