About Treva
Dr. Treva Sexton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She frames her work around everyday relationship and personal struggles.
Her approach aims to boost communication, understanding, and practical problem solving so people can move forward. She focuses on challenges such as parenting strain, intimacy and relationship problems, stress and anxiety, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with adoption or foster care histories, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and infidelity.
Background and approach
Her practice includes work on sexual issues and gender identity matters. In sessions she uses a mix of client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That looks like listening first, then trying small, workable changes together.
Homework and skills practice are common when clients want concrete steps to try between meetings. She offers a nonjudgmental space for people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients and those in alternative relationship cultures. She also added substance use and anger management assessments to her services, and she describes herself as a sex therapist who works on communication and sexual functioning topics.
Dr. Sexton provides services through several remote formats as well as in Georgia-based practice options. People who choose her typically want direct, practical conversations and guidance they can apply to family, work, or personal life.
Appointments begin with talking through immediate concerns and mapping a straightforward plan for change.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Client-centered therapy begins with listening and responding to each person’s needs so goals are set together and sessions feel relevant to daily life. This approach helps when someone wants space to talk and then decide what matters most to address.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, mood swings, and practical problems like time management or impulse control.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help with anger, impulsivity, relationship conflict, and mood instability.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by listening, then suggest methods that fit a person’s goals and daily routine. Together they check what works and adjust the plan over time so sessions remain useful and practical.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counseling into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports regular brief practice and follow-up. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, practicing skills between sessions, and staying connected when regular in-person visits are difficult.
