About Ophelia
Ophelia Mayfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and the day-to-day challenges of parenting and work. Ophelia aims to create a calm, steady atmosphere where people can talk through what’s bothering them and try straightforward strategies that fit their life.
She has worked in inpatient, outpatient, and school-based settings. That range shaped a down-to-earth style and an ability to explain tools clearly.
Background and approach
Ophelia often uses journaling and mindfulness exercises to help people notice patterns and respond differently to strong feelings. Her main clinical approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, trying new behaviors, and building habits that reduce distress over time.
She keeps interventions practical and goal-oriented so people can use them between sessions. Ophelia also supports people with grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and anger. She pays attention to workplace stress, caregiver strain, money worries, and body image issues.
This lets conversations address both immediate coping skills and longer-term change. People who prefer clear steps and regular check-ins tend to do well with her approach. She invites questions and works together with each person to set realistic goals.
Ophelia works from Mississippi and conducts sessions in English.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Ophelia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try concrete changes in feeling and behavior. CBT breaks problems into clear parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and teaches practical skills people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle everyday stress.She also incorporates short mindfulness and journaling exercises to increase awareness of reactions and build emotional regulation. These practices pair well with CBT because they make it easier to spot thinking patterns and test different responses when strong emotions come up.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ophelia works collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies based on how things are going. Clients help set priorities and decide which tools to try first.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls for in-depth conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, live chat for shorter exchanges, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit work on coping skills into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
