About Brandi

Dr. Brandi Treadway is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, career shifts, and the stress of life changes. Her work often centers on improving self-esteem and managing anxiety and mood challenges.

She brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to create a respectful, culturally aware space. She listens for patterns that cause pain, such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or family of origin dynamics. Then she helps people build small, practical steps to feel steadier.

Her approach combines client-centered care with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused methods. That means sessions move between understanding a person’s story and practicing ways to change unhelpful thoughts and interactions. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also used to increase awareness and reframe difficult experiences.

People come for help with relationship and intimacy-related issues, blended family challenges, LGBT concerns, trauma, ADHD, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also assists those facing midlife questions, life purpose concerns, or isolation and loneliness. The focus is on practical tools you can use between sessions.

Getting started begins with a simple intake and matching process. From there, scheduling is arranged around the client’s needs. The aim is steady progress through clear goals and honest, straightforward conversation.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. Online sessions can provide the same responsive listening and space for people to tell their story and be heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying thoughts and trying new behaviors; it pairs well with online homework, tracking, and brief check-ins between sessions. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people notice interaction patterns and strengthen emotional connection; it can be used online to practice new ways of responding and to de-escalate conflict in the moment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals and test methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they adjust the pace and tools so therapy stays focused and practical.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around work or family demands, fewer commute hours, and the ability to use digital worksheets or exercises between sessions. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking. The emphasis is on fitting therapy into everyday life so people can practice changes where they live and work.
