About Zoauntrist

Dr. Zoauntrist Oldham is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience in Georgia. She focuses on everyday problems that wear people down, such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She meets people where they are and listens first. She uses clear, practical steps to help people feel steadier day to day.

Conversations are shaped to each person’s situation and goals rather than following a fixed script.

Background and approach

She draws on tools from several approaches to help with thinking patterns, emotions, and behavior. Sessions include learning skills, practicing new responses, and checking what works between meetings. Her background includes two decades of work with common life challenges.

She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and mood concerns including panic and postpartum depression. Trauma, guilt, and problems with self-worth are also within her experience. People can expect a patient, compassionate tone and practical guidance.

The emphasis is on building skills that fit daily life and relationships. Those who want steady, experience-based support for parenting, stress, and relationship problems may find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, attends to feelings in relationships and helps people understand and change emotional responses to strengthen connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different tools. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep sessions consistent and to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises and check in in ways that fit a client's life and routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
