About Treva

Treva Ross-Sanders is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Arkansas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and family concerns. She brings 25 years of counseling and case management experience to conversations about relationships, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. Her tone in sessions is warm and accepting, focused on practical steps and steady support.

She uses straightforward talk and skill-building to help people manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Background and approach

Treva draws on Client-Centered Therapy to offer acceptance and listening. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Her background includes work with dual-diagnosis issues, substance use, career and job adjustment, and a range of mood disorders.

She has a rehabilitation counseling specialization within her Arkansas license and has supported adults and families through complex challenges. Her clinical focus covers issues like attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, codependency, domestic violence, and impulsivity. Sessions emphasize collaboration: clients set goals and Treva helps map clear steps toward them.

She supports practical problem solving, emotional processing, and new coping strategies. Many clients find this mix of empathy and concrete tools useful when managing triggers, grief, or life transitions. Treva works in English and offers a variety of online session formats.

Prospective clients can expect a calm, steady presence that aims to help them find workable changes and greater stability.

How Treva’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance. In practice this means the therapist offers a nonjudgmental space where concerns are heard and understood, which helps when people are working through family stress, parenting worries, or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is a hands-on method that teaches simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that cause trouble in relationships.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic memories and reactions. It supports people who are dealing with past abuse, complex trauma, or strong emotional responses that affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and needs, then recommends or blends methods that fit each person. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family schedules, work, and other responsibilities while maintaining consistent contact and practice between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
