If you're feeling stuck — wrestling with anxiety that won't quiet down, a mood that swings without warning, anger that surfaces faster than you'd like, or the weight of past trauma — you don't have to sort through it alone. I work with adults who are juggling demanding lives while quietly carrying ADHD, depression, grief, chronic pain, or relationship strain that's hard to put into words.

I came to this work after 20 years as a broadcast operations engineer. When an injury changed my path, I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and I've been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) since 2019. I've practiced in integrated medical clinics with clients of every age, in intensive outpatient care, and in residential settings, and today I work primarily with adults over telehealth across Tennessee.

I see my role as helping you understand where your struggles come from, get clear on what you want therapy to change, and build a concrete, step-by-step plan to get there

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

Deborah DeFrieze

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I'm Dr. Deborah DeFrieze, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, depression, and life's hardest transitions. If anxiety or overwhelm has been running the show lately, I'm here to help you take the reins back — with a warm, honest, and practical approach.

My path to this work has been a rich one. Alongside my social work career, I spent 33 years in public education — as a teacher in both regular and special education, an assistant principal, a principal, and an assistant professor — and I served as a missionary in Africa for 18 months. Those experiences taught me to meet people where they are, across every walk of life and stage of change. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a doctorate in education from the University of Georgia, and I'm also a Licensed Massage Therapist, which deepens my appreciation for the mind-body connection in healing.

I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, tailoring our work to what will help you most.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a OCD Therapist in Nashville, TN

Finding OCD therapists in Nashville starts with looking for care that matches how OCD is commonly supported. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a widely used therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, avoidance, or related stress, review therapist bios for OCD experience, ERP training, and approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy.

Nashville has many mental health care options, which can make it harder to tell whether a therapist is a strong fit for OCD-specific support. Some therapists list OCD as an area of familiarity, while others describe direct experience with ERP or anxiety and OCD therapy. That difference can matter when you compare options. Also consider appointment availability, whether virtual or in-person sessions fit your schedule, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions and what kinds of concerns they work with most often.

Therapy in Nashville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and bios, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare virtual and in-person options, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
