Feeling like you can't quite keep it together? Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the stresses in life and need help sorting them out. Maybe you've just hit a low point or feeling overly worried and anxious. Talking to a therapist has helped many people who are feeling the same way.

I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Did you know that if you are in Virginia, you can receive online therapy from any Virginia licensed mental health professional located anywhere in Virginia. I am a LCSW in Virginia. I provide individual and couples’ therapy. I have been in practice for 45 years. Yes, that means I am old. I am 70 years old. For some folks that is an automatic not interested. For others it is worth checking this person out. I have a lot of life experience. I have experience as a biological parent, a stepparent, and an adoptive parent. There are some similarities and some important differences in those parent types. I have experience working in a public mental health center, solo private practice and in a group private practice that I started with 7 other therapists. I also have been a member of several Boards of nonprofit agencies, the Virginia Board of Social Work (the licensing authority for social workers in Virginia), the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Human Services, State Human Rights Committee, and currently I serve on the board of the Virginia Society for Clinical Social Workers as Vice President.

Hello, my name is Day Charles, and I am a board-certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, and a Certified Telemental Health Provider. I have over 15 years of mental health counseling experience and I am entering my 6th year of practicing independently. The name of my private practice - Day One Counseling & Consulting - describes exactly how I encourage my clients to view their wellness journey - every day IS “Day One.” If you are suffering from stress, anxiety, or depression, need to overcome low self-esteem and discover your authentic self, or are seeking support as you navigate a life transition, you are in the right place. I also specialize in parent coaching, grief and loss, and the management of ADHD symptoms (adults and children).

My primary focus is Anxiety (including Social), Anxiety due to a Medical Condition, Bariatric Pre-Surgical therapy/testing, ADHD in adults including testing and therapy, and Sports/Orthopedic Rehabilitation Counseling.
