About Ramona
Ramona McKinney is a Tennessee licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She writes that she focuses on those kinds of concerns and works with people across different phases of life.
She helps people sort through family patterns that keep showing up in adult life.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach practical coping skills. In sessions she helps people notice repeated behaviors, practice clearer communication, and build routines that reduce stress. She also supports clients managing grief, substance concerns, and recovery from interpersonal harm.
Ramona’s background includes a focus on attachment issues and blended family dynamics. She brings nearly a decade of experience helping adults navigate divorce and separation, domestic violence aftermath, and co-occurring challenges like addiction or mental health comorbidity.

Therapeutic approaches she uses and remote sessions
Ramona works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on patterns and practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify family-of-origin roles and repeated behaviors, then practices new ways of relating. This approach can help with communication problems, attachment questions, and recurring anxiety tied to family expectations.Another approach focuses on coping skills for stress and grief. It teaches short, repeatable strategies for managing intense feelings and day-to-day tasks so people can function more steadily during transitions or loss. These techniques are useful for those dealing with change, caregiver strain, or recovery from interpersonal harm.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and together you will try approaches that fit you. She checks in on how methods are working and adjusts plans based on progress and feedback.
