About Raylissa
Raylissa Batten is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years in the mental health field. She offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting strain, relationships, and depression. She begins by listening and helping each person name what matters most to them.
She follows approaches that focus on values, present-moment awareness, and skill building. Sessions often include clear, step-by-step tools to manage difficult feelings and improve communication.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative - the client and therapist set goals together and check progress along the way. Raylissa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values.
Mindfulness practices and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stress, emotion regulation, or relationship patterns get in the way of daily life. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She helps people break problems into small, doable steps and practices new ways of responding between sessions.
That practical focus is useful for parenting challenges, relationship conflicts, and rebuilding self-worth. Based in Tennessee, Raylissa centers each session on the person’s strengths and goals. She supports people who want tools to cope, clearer communication, and steadier emotional balance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
The practice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify their core values and take meaningful steps toward them even when strong emotions are present. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck from avoidance patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also an important tool in sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce distress and change behavior.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan if something is not working. That collaborative planning helps people see which tools help most for their situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter updates, quick coping strategies, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining the same therapeutic methods used in face-to-face work.
