About Tenethrea
Tenethrea Buffington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 17 years of experience. She focuses on common life challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and motivation. She also helps people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and career questions.
Tenethrea believes clients know their own stories and brings a collaborative attitude to sessions. She points out strengths and helps people use those strengths to handle problems.
How Tenethrea works
The first step can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support during that part of the journey. In sessions she helps people talk through family-of-origin issues, blended family concerns, and divorce or separation stress. She also addresses shame, guilt, abandonment, and forgiveness.
For social anxiety, panic attacks, and self-love work she breaks challenges into manageable steps. Her work includes coaching-style guidance when clients want practical next steps. That can look like setting goals, practicing communication skills, or building routines that improve mood and motivation.
She frames change as gradual and practical rather than sudden. Tenethrea offers direct, plain-language conversation and focuses on useful tools people can use between sessions. She supports those coping with grief, trauma, and abuse by listening carefully and helping them develop coping strategies.
Many people come for help with confidence and self-esteem, and she works with them on skills that build lasting change.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Tenethrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and frames them in plain language so people can use them between sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. This method teaches practical ways to notice thought patterns and try new, healthier responses. Another frequently used technique targets behavior change through small, achievable steps such as building routines, practicing communication skills, or scheduling activities that improve mood; it helps with motivation, anger, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Tenethrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they track what works and adjust the plan so it fits the client's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share thoughts between sessions or fit support into a work break. These options increase flexibility and help people get consistent care that fits their schedule.
