01About Tenethrea
Tenethrea Buffington is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She meets people where they are and supports them in taking concrete steps toward feeling better.
She works with issues around relationships, anger, parenting, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps people cope with life changes, career stress, grief, and trauma and abuse. Her practice includes support for ADHD, bipolar concerns, panic attacks, and social anxiety when those come up.
Background and approach
Her style treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and builds on what is already working. Sessions emphasize small, doable changes rather than complex theory or jargon.
Over her career she has helped people sort through family of origin problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication breakdowns. She also addresses struggles such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and problems with forgiveness. Therapy typically focuses on clear goals like managing panic, improving communication, or rebuilding self-love.
She encourages clients to try strategies between sessions and to notice what changes in day-to-day life. That practical focus makes therapy useful for everyday problems and big transitions.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Tenethrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical strategies. One approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce avoidance and increase confidence. Another approach targets mood and motivation by helping clients set achievable goals, track progress, and replace unhelpful routines with small behavior changes that add up over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they will adjust the plan based on what works and what feels manageable for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work well for a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let clients touch base between sessions or use written check-ins when that fits their schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
