About Ara

Prof. Ara Trembly offers support for common concerns parents and individuals face, including stress, anxiety, relationship tension, parenting challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. He frames work simply and directly.

Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and managing emotions so daily life feels more manageable. He draws on nearly two decades of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Georgia. He also teaches the Bible and has published writing, and he integrates his worldview into conversations when it fits a client’s preferences.

Background and approach

He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. In practice he adapts conversation and plans to each person’s situation. That can mean finding small behavior changes, rethinking unhelpful thoughts, or examining deeper life patterns.

He encourages steady, doable progress rather than big overnight fixes. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Clients can expect clear explanations of suggested steps, room to talk through feelings, and guidance on how to try things between sessions.

The aim is to help people build skills they can use at home and work. He holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and brings 19 years of counseling experience in Georgia. Work proceeds at a pace set by the client, with attention to practical goals and real-life improvements.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is practical and often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Sessions may include simple exercises to try between meetings.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that develop over time and how they influence current feelings and relationships. It helps people understand deeper motivations and repeated reactions so they can choose different responses in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and suggest a collaborative plan. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed to find what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule and to continue work when travel or other demands come up. Many people appreciate being able to use methods that match their comfort level while keeping therapy practical and accessible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
