Jeffrey Scarbrough, LMFT

Jeffrey Scarbrough is a Tennessee-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. Sessions aim to be direct and practical so clients can manage day-to-day tensions more effectively.

He spent a decade leading intensive group therapy for adolescents, and that experience shaped how he talks with people about behavior and conflict. He also has a long history working with adults, couples, and family matters, including blended family issues and communication problems.

In sessions he draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques when patterns of thinking and behavior are getting in the way. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is ambivalent about change and wants clearer next steps.

Jeffrey commonly addresses anger alongside related concerns such as intimacy problems, infidelity, first responder stress, grief, and process addictions like gambling or problematic internet use. He also works with young adult issues, personality disorder presentations, and coping with life transitions.

He describes his work as respectful and straightforward. The plan usually combines short-term problem solving with skills practice that clients can try between sessions. People who want a practical, goal-focused approach to reduce reactivity and improve communication often find this style useful.
