Online Therapy · Georgia & Iowa
You don't have to carry it alone.
Therapy is a space to feel heard, understood, and supported — not judged. Shea Preslynn, LPC, LMHC, CCS offers compassionate online counseling for adults navigating anxiety, life changes, stress, and the moments when life simply feels too heavy.
Whether this is your first time reaching out or you're coming back to therapy, you'll find a steady, human connection — from wherever you feel safest.
Therapy is a conversation — not a performance.
Many clients say the hardest part was starting. After that, it gets easier.
Why Therapy Matters
What it feels like to show up for yourself
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons — anxiety that won't quiet down, a season of grief, relationship stress, or simply feeling stuck and unsure why. Whatever brought you here, you deserve a space that feels safe, steady, and genuinely human.
At Root and Rise, therapy isn't about having the perfect words. It's about being met with compassion while you figure out what healing looks like for you.
You talk. You're heard.
Therapy starts with your story — at your pace. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before you show up.
It's a partnership.
You're not being lectured or fixed. You and Shea work together to understand what's going on and what would help.
Small steps add up.
Progress doesn't always feel dramatic. Sometimes it's sleeping better, setting a boundary, or finally feeling lighter.
Online still feels personal.
Telehealth means you can connect from home, your car, or anywhere private — with the same warmth as in-person care.
Meet Your Therapist
Shea Preslynn
Shea brings a warm, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Clients often describe her as easy to talk to — someone who listens without judgment and helps you make sense of what you're feeling, not just what you're “supposed” to be doing.
Her work is rooted in the belief that healing isn't about being fixed. It's about reconnecting with your own strength, building practical tools, and feeling supported through life's harder chapters — one session at a time.
Sessions are held entirely online, so you can meet from the comfort of home, your office, or wherever feels safest. No waiting rooms. No awkward small talk in a lobby. Just you, showing up for yourself.

How I Can Help
Support that meets you where you are
Every person walks in with a different story. These are the areas Shea most often supports — but your sessions are always shaped around what you actually need.
Individual Therapy
A one-on-one space to unpack what's on your mind — whether you're managing anxiety, burnout, or just need someone in your corner.
Anxiety & Stress Management
Learn practical tools to quiet the noise, calm your nervous system, and feel more steady in everyday life.
Life Transitions
Support for the big shifts — new jobs, endings, relocations, or chapters that leave you feeling unsteady and unsure.
Trauma-Informed Care
Process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe, with a therapist who understands how the body and mind hold pain.
Clinical Supervision
For counselors-in-training: thoughtful supervision from a Certified Clinical Supervisor as you grow in your practice.
Telehealth Sessions
Quality care from wherever you are. Flexible scheduling that fits around work, family, and real life.
The Root and Rise Way
Therapy that feels like you
Good therapy isn't just about techniques — it's about trust. Feeling like someone genuinely cares whether you're okay. That's the foundation everything else is built on.
You are welcome here
Show up tired, uncertain, emotional, or unsure. Therapy is a judgment-free space — no pretending required.
Your story matters
Sessions are built around your experiences and goals, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Healing takes time
There's no rush to "fix" anything. Progress happens through steady, compassionate work together.
Care that fits your life
Flexible online sessions mean support can happen on your couch, in your car, or wherever feels private.
