Therapists in Virginia

My name is Trina McDonald and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have certification as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I have experience working with various populations through my employment with Social Services, The Division of Prisons, Camp Lejeune Military Base, Outpatient Treatment Facilities, and as a State Certified HIV Case Manager. I work in partnership with the client to impact change using an eclectic approach foundationally based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My interests include reading, meeting new people, traveling, and watching television the 70's, 80's and 90's. I My favorite quote comes from Mark Twain who wrote, "There are two important days in your life; the day you were born and the day you find out why." This quote I believe in as I feel it speaks to purpose and being born on purpose and not by mistake. I work with a client to build a therapeutic rapport as I feel this to be essential to making therapeutic gains. I embrace the elements of unconditional positive regard, being authentic and genuine, and empathy to help build that therapeutic rapport with a client. I consider listening, patience, acceptance, and honest communication, and observing healthy boundaries as my greater strengths. I look forward to working each potential client in navigating through challenges to obtain mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and social well-being.

I currently offer in-person sessions only at my office in Abingdon, Virginia. I'm Rebecca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) provider. I specialize in working with young women and LGBTQ+ individuals navigating complex trauma, addiction, and nervous system overwhelm. My practice is intentionally focused on clients who feel stuck, disconnected, or burnt out from traditional talk therapy. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices like EMDR, DBT, and CBT. I bring deep respect for the ways we learn to survive—and a gentle curiosity for what healing might look like when survival mode softens. Sessions with me are collaborative and honest, and I strive to create a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and attuned to your unique needs. For clients who feel blocked, numb, or unable to access deeper parts of themselves, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as a complementary option. In partnership with Journey Clinical, I provide preparation, dosing, and integration sessions for clients who are medically cleared for ketamine treatment. KAP isn’t a magic fix, but it can help open emotional pathways that traditional therapy sometimes can’t reach on its own. Healing with me isn’t about figuring out what’s “wrong” with you—it’s about understanding what happened to you, and how your system learned to adapt. The work we do together is about coming home to yourself with compassion, safety, and a sense of agency.

I have been blessed with many wonderful and loving people in my life; and know how much it means to experience kind and helpful people in hard times. I provide an organized and easy to follow process using EMDR to address the difficulties my clients are facing and help them achieve the outcomes they are looking for. I strive to be a calm and accepting presence to my clients as they tackle some of the biggest challenges in their life.
