Othea McAlpine, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Othea!

I specialize in helping busy moms and women navigate overwhelm, anxiety, and life transitions. Many of the women I work with are juggling a lot—career responsibilities, motherhood, relationships, and the pressure to keep everything together.

My focus

I primarily work with women and busy moms who are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life. Many of my clients are balancing careers, relationships, parenting, and personal responsibilities while quietly carrying stress, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion. I help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, and improve communication.

My approach

My approach to therapy is supportive, practical, and focused on helping you create real change in your daily life. I use a combination of Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you're facing while also identifying your strengths and what’s already working.

My communication style

My communication style is compassionate, down-to-earth, and supportive. I aim to create a safe space where clients can speak openly and feel truly heard. Therapy with me is collaborative—we work together to explore challenges, identify patterns, and develop strategies that support your well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep interest in understanding people and how life experiences shape our well-being. After earning a Psychology degree from Alabama A&M and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University-Atlanta, I have spent my career helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to identify the goals that are most meaningful to them. Early in the process, we explore what challenges you’re currently facing and what you would like to see change in your life. From there, we develop clear and realistic goals that guide our work together.

Our first session

Our first session is a conversation focused on understanding you. We’ll discuss what’s been going on in your life, the challenges you’re facing, and what you hope therapy will help you achieve. I’ll also answer any questions you may have about the process. By the end, we’ll begin outlining goals and next steps for moving forward.
