Hi, My name is Kristel. I am an LCSW who provides talk therapy via Telehealth. I am a multifaceted individual with a deep well of life experiences that inform my perspective. As a former military brat and spouse (married 18 years), working mother, single mother, trauma survivor, I've intimately understood the complexities of life's transitions. My journey has taken me from being a stay-at-home mom to transitioning back into the workforce, granting me a unique appreciation for both roles. I'm a devoted mother of two children, and my path has been marked by significant challenges, including the struggle with infertility and profound grief. I proudly identify as a feminist and supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. These aspects of my identity deeply influence my approach to life and work. With a background in working with families, individuals, and children, I bring a wealth of experience. My personal journey has shaped my empathetic, compassionate, and inclusive perspective, which I offer as a source of support and understanding to those I work with.

We are all responsible for our own choices—and sometimes, for the choices of others. That responsibility can feel daunting, especially when change is already unfolding beneath the surface. I believe that asking for help is itself a courageous act of authenticity. As a Licensed Professional Counselor serving Virginia via telehealth, I support adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and stress. My approach blends Existential Therapy with CBT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, grounded in trauma-informed care and psychoeducation. I help clients build emotionally safe, strengths-based strategies that honor their lived experience and support meaningful change.

I am a bilingual therapist with over 10 years of experience. I bring a culturally grounded, compassionate lens to my work with individuals from all walks of life. I have extensive experience across a wide range of evidence-based and insight-oriented modalities, and I tailor therapy to meet you exactly where you are. My goal is to ensure you feel genuinely seen and heard, and create a space that is safe. I would describe myself as an eclectic therapist as I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. I use psychodynamic principles to help uncover early relational patterns, unconscious beliefs, and internal dynamics that may be influencing your present experience. For many years, I have specialized in Cognitive Processing Therapy —particularly with Veterans working through trauma-related symptoms. My approach is always trauma-informed, collaborative, and culturally sensitive, focusing on helping clients process and shift painful beliefs rooted in traumatic experiences. I also like to integrate mindfulness-based strategies to guide individuals in exploring and processing challenging emotions, empowering them to develop healthier coping mechanisms. No matter your background or what brings you to therapy, you deserve support that feels affirming and effective. My role is to walk beside you as you explore healing, growth, and meaningful change.

I graduated from VCU Health in 1997 with a Masters Degree in Rehab Counseling. I utilize the Integrative Approach to therapy, including EMDR, parts work, DBT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing to guide therapy in a way that is both effective and empowering.

At the same time, I've done my own growth work to face challenges, different from yours, and to grow through them, recognizing how hard and courageous this process can be. My growth work allows me to show up with deep empathy, steady grounded presence, and a belief in your capacity for meaningful change. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, our fur babies, playing golf, pickleball, seeing live music and rooting for my favorite teams.

My name is Dave Rogers, and I have been counseling professionally for over 30 years. I have worked at inpatient and residential treatment centers for Eating Disorders, and addictions, and as you can imagine - worked with families and loved ones impacted by these extremely difficult problems. I am so fortunate to have worked with gifted teams of professionals who taught me everything I know. I have also worked extensively as an outpatient therapist since 2011 when I opened my private practice. I heard a statement early in my career that impacted my practice of therapy greatly: "People don't care what you know, until they know you care". Research continues to verify that the quality of the therapy relationship is the foundation for all the other work. So - I do my very best to make a comfortable and supportive relationship from the start, because people often come to therapy with apprehension, fear, or bad experiences with therapy that cause them to be reluctant, or hesitant to open up and address their struggles and pain. One of my early goals in therapy is to listen so well, that the client says "you get me". I do my best to help clients heal, change, grow, and work toward contentment with themselves and life, as much as possible.

Hi, I am Nephetia and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience providing support to individuals navigating changes and challenges in life. I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2000 and a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2012. I am a compassionate and affirming therapist who strives to provide a safe and judgement-free space for clients to express themselves and utilize their strengths to achieve their goals. Decreasing negative symptoms and helping each client live healthier fulfilling lives is the ultimate goal. With me you are celebrated and encouraged to be your authentic self. Some of my strongest qualities are building strong therapeutic rapport, creating a safe place to be authentic and being empathetic. My theoretic approach is based on the belief that clients are in charge of their counseling experience so that the process is individualized. I use an integrative therapeutic approach primarily including CBT, Person Centered, Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance an Commitment Therapy. I enjoy being able to help others reach their goals and feel more emotional stability overall. I have experience assisting and supporting clients overcome and cope with depression, anxiety, grief, issues specific to women, low self-esteem and body image.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual sessions via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 23 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual realm, with a focus on relationship growth. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice. Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

Have you been hurt by someone you trusted — and now you feel lost, rejected, or overwhelmed? My specialty is helping adults heal the wounds of betrayal, breakups, and divorce. I also work with clients navigating anxiety and depression, offering tools to manage overwhelming thoughts, calm inner chaos, and rebuild self-trust. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my desire to help people heal beneath the surface and reclaim their sense of identity and authentic self. Along the way, I’ve learned approaches that teach clients how to manage overwhelming emotions, challenge negative thought patterns, and release the stress their bodies hold onto after trauma. These methods help clients find relief from anxiety, depression, grief, and relational betrayal in ways that last beyond the therapy room.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the common wealth of Virginia. I received my Masters from Barry University and have been practicing for 5 years. I aim to help individuals who are struggling in the areas of relationships; marriage, family, or friendships. We are designed to be in community. Yet, relationships can be complex and many times client's are surprised to find out that many of their adult interactions are effected by childhood experiences or past hurts. Together we can untangle some of those webs in order to develop and nurture healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Greetings, I am Melissa. I know what it's like to feel you have no one who hears you when you speak. I know what it's like to feel you have no one to trust to confide in who is a good listener and not judgemental. I've been there, I know it's hard. I am here to listen. I am here to confide in with a non judgemental attitude. I would love to have the opportunity to help you find yourself and become the best version of yourself. All I ask is for you to be open to positive change and brave enough to take the first step and reaching out. I know sometimes it's hard to seek and ask for help but you can do it! I am experienced in using CBT and DBT therapy techniques to help you address your struggles with anxiety and depression. Looking forward to walking with you as you start your journey to better and stronger health!
