About Ophelia

Ophelia Mayfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or changes in their life. She also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, workplace strain, and concerns around money and finances.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Sessions often include journaling prompts and simple mindfulness exercises to build emotional regulation skills.

Mayfield has worked in inpatient, outpatient, and school-based settings. That range of experience shapes how she adapts tools for different day-to-day situations. She focuses on short-term problem solving and skills that people can use right away.

People meet her in a collaborative, goal-focused way. She helps set small, clear steps and tracks progress together. The aim is to leave sessions with doable actions, not just talk.

Her practice emphasizes creating structure and practical change. Clients learn ways to manage anger, improve self-esteem, cope with trauma or loss, and address addictive patterns. She also offers coaching-style support for career questions and decision points.

How CBT and practical techniques work online

Ophelia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on clear links between what you think, what you do, and how you feel, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and workplace or money-related worries.

She also brings simple mindfulness and journaling practices into sessions. Mindfulness exercises help slow down strong emotions and notice reactions, while journaling creates a record of patterns to discuss and change together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which tools fit their goals and day-to-day life. That process may mean trying techniques for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. The practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into busy schedules - sessions can often be scheduled around work or caregiving, cut travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick update is all that is needed.
