Ophelia Mayfield

Ophelia Mayfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, stress, mood concerns, and issues around eating and body image. Her approach is straightforward and practical. She works to make therapy understandable and useful for day-to-day life.

Mayfield draws on work from inpatient, outpatient, and school-based settings. She has supported adults and children through anger, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and academic or workplace stress. She favors clear tools clients can use between sessions, such as journaling and mindfulness exercises.

Her main clinical method is cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In sessions she helps people identify what’s keeping problems going and practices steps to shift those patterns. Sessions tend to emphasize short-term strategies and measurable goals.

People who meet with Mayfield can expect a collaborative tone. She listens for what matters most and helps clients set realistic steps toward improvement. She also offers coaching-style ideas when clients want focused support for career or life transitions.

Based in Mississippi, Mayfield aims to create an organized space for growth. She works with caregivers, people facing compassion fatigue, and those managing mood conditions like depression and bipolar concerns. When eating or food-related issues are part of the struggle, she brings attention to thoughts, behaviors, and routines that affect daily life.

How Ophelia’s CBT-based approach fits with online therapy

Ophelia uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, eating and food-related concerns, and stress by teaching practical skills and exercises to try between sessions.

She also integrates simple mindfulness practices and journaling as tools to support emotional regulation and self-reflection. Mindfulness helps people notice patterns without judgment, while journaling makes it easier to track triggers and progress over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals, daily routines, and personal preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what techniques feel useful and adjusting them as needs change.

For practical matters, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, limit video when needed, or schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and journaling assignments to an online setting so clients keep making progress between meetings.
