About
As one who has experienced trauma and grief, I bring to the counseling approach of compassion and experience how one's world can be negatively impacted. I believe in empowering men and women to become the best version of their normal while instilling pride and resilience that they can overcome obstacles in their life.
Welcome to your new beginning! My name is Danielle Akins and I am a LPC and MHSP. I work with children of all ages, young adults, and seniors. I specialize in autism, play therapy, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and abuse (sexual and physical). I also specialize in sexual addiction and family counseling
I believe in the Holistic approach where each individual has their own specific needs and qualities. I use various approaches depending on each individual's circumstances and issues. I incorporate CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma-focused, solution-focused, and play therapy into my sessions.
I look forward to working with you as a a member of the team where we together will work towards a collective pathway for mental healing. I encourage you to make this first step by scheduling an appointment so we can start this new journey together.

My approach incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify patterns, regulate emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies.
I bring empathy, patience, and genuine understanding to every session. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience happiness and fulfillment. Together, we’ll work toward developing the tools and mindset needed to overcome challenges and create lasting positive change.

My own life experiences as well as my experience working in hospitals has helped me to have tremendous variety with many different age groups and populations, and I will be your personal coach to help you obtain your goals.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have spent several years in acute and rehab hospital settings, as well as a therapy practice. I have experience with all age groups, individuals, couples, and families. I have learned each of us has our own unique story and sometimes there are challenges we do not expect, or we realize we want to take the next chapter in a different direction. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, clarity and confidence.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strengths based. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychoeducation are some of the therapy approaches we may use, depending upon individual needs.
Whether you are coping with anxiety, adjusting to a life change such as divorce or a health condition, or working through trauma or grief, I am here to help you learn new coping skills and strengthen your resilience. Healing begins in a safe and supportive environment, where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Let's get started!

As a parent of a child with an intellectual disability, I understand the challenges the youth and caregivers face navigating day to day life.
My name is Katherine. I have worked in the counseling field for 30 years. I have helped children and their parents as well as adults. I have a Master's degree in counseling. I am a licensed professional counselor as well as a licensed behavior analyst. I have helped individuals and families with a variety of issues to include: trauma, disability related issues, depression, anxiety, problematic behavior, school concerns and other presenting issues. When I work with youth and families, my approach is to understand the nature of the issue and support the process of moving forward.
I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT). My approach is to engage with clients and meet them where they are. While I use this knowledge to inform how I work with families and youth, I easily adjust to each client’s needs.
I am the parent of a young person who is a transracial adoptee and a young person with an intellectual disability. My personal experience does inform how I approach families. I understand the day to day challenges that youth and parents may experience. I hope that I can support you and your family with empathy and grace.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
In 1972, Stanford and UCLA simulated a therapy session on the computer for the first time ever. Today, this is referred as the very start of online counseling. Online self-help groups, mental health hotlines, and “Ask Abby” discussions made their rounds on the internet. And they are still very much alive today, but there is another prominent form of online mental health help: online counseling.
Online counseling is pretty self-explanatory. It’s working with a counselor in an online environment, such as over the phone or video. This is the big difference between the traditional in-person counseling approach and the online counseling approach. Both types of therapy prove effective and are valuable options if you’re looking for mental health services.
Success as a therapist is not found in doing something for the client, but rather in being someone for the client. –Ili Rivera Walter
Thriveworks Tennessee has seen an important need for online counseling. In fact, many people prefer online counseling to in-person counseling as the world evolves. For example, our clients enjoy the comfort and the convenience that online counseling can offer them. They don’t have to worry about rushing to the office to make it to their appointment in time; they don’t have to worry about sitting in traffic and running late. Online counseling makes counseling easier, and in some cases, offers greater benefits. If you are weighing your counseling options, consider online counseling at Thriveworks Tennessee. We have counselors who can meet with you via phone or video now.
You might feel intimidated by this new counseling option, but it’s simple! Both telephone counseling and video counseling only require a simple device—such as a phone or computer—that allows you to call into your sessions. In addition, you’ll need internet access as well. Once you’ve checked those two boxes, you’re all set to meet with your online counselor!
Telephone counseling and video counseling could both be viable options for you. You’re welcome to try both option out and see which you prefer. Or, maybe you already know that you’d prefer one over the other. For example, you might prefer video counseling if…
Or, on the other hand, you might prefer telephone counseling if you’d rather not meet with your counselor “face-to-face,” would like a greater degree of anonymity, or you’re looking for the absolute most flexible form of counseling.
An online counselor can help you in much the same way as an in-person counselor. The virtual environment does not serve as a barrier to working through hard problems and making meaningful progress in counseling. In fact, some people find that online counseling empower them to make greater, quicker progress than in-person counseling because they feel more comfortable talking to their counselor from home or via an online medium.
