About Treva

Dr. Treva Sexton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She focuses on helping people improve relationships and address sexual concerns, including sexual dysfunction and communication around intimacy. Her work includes support for issues such as substance use and anger management assessments that she has recently added to her practice.

Her style is straightforward and accepting. She describes her practice as LGBTQIA friendly and creates a space where people can feel heard. Sessions aim to identify barriers that keep someone from feeling fulfilled and to map practical steps forward.

In the room she combines client-centered listening with skill-based strategies. That means clients set the agenda while also learning tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people try small changes that add up.

Dr. Sexton also works with parenting and family concerns, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and caregiving stress. Other areas she addresses include body image, infidelity, commitment concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes.

Her practice is based on the west side of Atlanta with additional satellite locations around the city. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. To begin, readers should use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients clarify goals, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and patterns that affect relationships.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. This can help when impulsivity, anger, or intense mood swings interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Sexton will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. She will adjust techniques based on a client's goals, needs, and what feels most useful in practice.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods in an online setting while helping clients apply skills to everyday situations.
