My areas of expertise include managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, faith formation, identity and purpose, peer relationships, transitional challenges, conflict resolution, forgiveness, etc.

Hello! My name is Mrs. Jessica Gonzalez and I'm a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and families to restore balance, unrevealed emotions and guide them through what feels like overwhelming obstacles and challenges. My goal is to provide a safe environment to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Thank you for taking the 1st step towards change and I look forward to working with you.

In August 2010, I graduated from Liberty University with two Master’s degrees: one in Marriage and Family Therapy, and the other in Human Services with a Specialization in Family Therapy. I was a recipient of the Innovative Thinker Award issued by the Prince William County Molinari Juvenile Shelter. I have also previously worked as a Social Worker for Prince William County, where he evaluated the needs of families, provided them with resources, expedited adolescent recovery, and provided crisis intervention.

Hi, I'm Caroline, I enjoy working with teens, young adults and adults on navigating life’s changes and challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself, sort through what feels overwhelming, and build practical tools that fit your life. I enjoy helping clients work through anxiety, stress, friendship concerns, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and major transitions such as starting a new school, college, work, or increased independence. Together, we can explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen coping skills, improve communication and boundaries, and create space for greater confidence and balance. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. Whether you are feeling anxious, disconnected, unsure of your next steps, or simply need someone to talk to, I aim to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia. I received my Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. I have worked in behavioral health and healthcare arenas for over thirty years. This includes experience in oncology, hospice care and all the aspects of providing social support in a Level I trauma center. Over the past few years I have focused exclusively on the provision of therapy for individual adult clients of all ages and walks of life.

About Me I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Hypnotherapist with experience supporting adults and veterans through anxiety, stress, life transitions, trauma, and personal growth. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized, combining evidence-based therapy with hypnotherapy and other mind-body techniques. I meet clients where they are, helping them recognize their strengths, develop practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change. My Ideal Client My ideal client is an adult who is ready for support and wants to better understand themselves, overcome challenges, or make positive changes in their life. I especially enjoy working with veterans and individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, confidence issues, life transitions, and feeling stuck. How I Work I believe therapy should be a partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we identify your goals and develop a plan that fits your needs, using approaches such as CBT, ACT, IEMT, somatic techniques, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel understood, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

My name is Evelyn Lieb, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients in Washington, DC, and Virginia. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, OCD, ADHD, life transitions, relationship challenges, and chronic stress. Together, we will explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building practical skills to help you move toward the life you want. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed interventions, always adapting treatment to fit the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you are facing a difficult life transition or have been carrying emotional pain for years, I am committed to creating a supportive, respectful environment where lasting growth and healing can occur.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether you're coping with stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or emotional struggles, I provide a supportive, collaborative environment where we can work together toward your goals. My approach is warm, genuine, and practical. Therapy should help you better understand yourself while giving you tools and strategies you can begin using in your everyday life. Together, we'll build on your strengths, work through obstacles, and create lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation where you can be your authentic self - without judgement . I bring over 10 years of experience in the mental health field and use a person-centered, strength-based approach to help clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you work toward meaningful change. I work best with clients who ae ready to explore, grow, and actively participate in their healing. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable space where WE can work together at your pace while building on the strengths you already have.

I have always been interested in people and their stories. Having grown up in Virginia, I got my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bridgewater College and a master’s degree in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University. I have experience across a wide variety of settings, including inpatient care, community mental health, and partial hospitalization programs. In these roles, I have supported clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, complex trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, grief, emotional regulation, attachment concerns, and difficulties with boundaries and communication. I am passionate about helping clients build the skills to live as their most authentic and healthy selves. I believe that by fostering an environment of trust and safety, clients can fully realize their own power and achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Welcome! Transformation is possible. You can choose to step into a fully connected, authentic, and joyful life. It's time to start living the life that's waiting for you. I've experienced profound transformations myself and I'm here to guide you to the life that you desire. Maybe you're just not feeling happy. Or maybe you feel stuck in a never-ending loop. It seems like you're barely doing anything for yourself anymore. You know something has to change and there has to be a better way. I'm glad you're here! I'm Carrie, and I'm ready to help! I love to help people shift. I created LifeVision Counseling, LLC to empower individuals on their journey of personal growth and healing by offering online therapy throughout Virginia. As a seasoned therapist, I offer a safe space where you can explore your emotions, overcome obstacles, and start to live the life you desire. With over 15 years in the field, I bring experience and authenticity to each session, providing guidance and support as you navigate life's challenges from the comfort of your own home. I use a therapeutic approach to promote healing and growth. My style is collaborative and strengths-based, aimed at helping you honor yourself and find your own path forward. I use proven strategies to help you overcome life's challenges and start living a life that's full of peace and joy. I'm happy to help and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, career stress, and relationship challenges.

I believe people are incredibly resilient and capable of healing with the right support. I don't just believe in counseling—I believe in people. In fact, I believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself yet. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Army veteran, mother, and writer, I understand that life can be both beautiful and challenging. I bring both professional training and lived experience to the counseling relationship. I have specialized training in DBT, CBT, and Christian counseling, allowing me to tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and values. My Christian faith is central to who I am, and I gladly integrate biblical principles into counseling for clients who request it while providing compassionate, respectful care to individuals from all backgrounds. It is my joy to help others discover hope, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

I have worked at a hospital, community mental health center, group and private practice. I worked with people with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, addiction problems, minority/ identity and multicultural issues, life transition problems. Also, I worked with people with ADHD and developmental disorders. I understand that you would like to learn about your problems to change and navigate your life in a better way.

I am a solutions focused clinician who holds space for others to talk about life’s difficulties and helps them navigate in meaningful ways. I aim to make the therapeutic space a comfortable space where clients can express themselves freely and without judgment. I have experience working with children and adolescents in the public school setting as a School Social Worker as well as an Outpatient Therapist in private practice.

I focus on trauma, grief, overwhelming life events, relationship issues, recognizing patterns and coping mechanism using Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting. We may be a good fit if you are ready for deeper insight, seek a fresh approach beyond just talk therapy. I believe the important step in therapy is to create a sound relationship between client and therapist, then, using modalities like Internal Family System (IFS), Brainspotting and Polyvagal theory to help alleviate symptoms from unresolved issues that remain present in our daily lives, and behaviors and thoughts that decrease our quality of life. I work with adults of all ages. I use trauma informed care with body and nervous system awareness. Learning and creating compassionate connections to your inner system and learning to release emotions through the body may lead to relief and healing. Like the movie, Inside Out or Inside Out 2, parts are like characters that have their own roles, emotions, beliefs and interactions with others. With time, parts work feels more comfortable and familiar and you can settle into your own system and internal experience. You will learn to notice your nervous system responses to different situations. “IFS is a loving way of relating internally (to your parts) and externally (to the people in your life), so in that sense, IFS is a life practice, as well. It’s something you can do on a daily, moment-to-moment basis—at any time, by yourself or with others.” ― Richard C. Schwartz, No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the IFS Model

Hi, I'm Daija Monroe, Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Monroe Behavioral Insight Consulting. I'm so glad you're here and I want you to know that finding the courage to seek support is something to be proud of. I'm a Virginia-based therapist with over seven years of experience working with individuals across a wide range of life experiences and challenges. I have experience in community mental health, forensic mental health, crisis intervention, and school-based settings which means I bring a well-rounded, real-world understanding of how life, systems, and mental health intersect. My work is rooted in creating a space that feels genuinely safe where you don't have to perform, pretend, or have it all figured out before walking through the door. I'll be honest with you, I'm not the therapist who will sit quietly and just nod. I'm warm, I'm real, and I'm straightforward. I believe you deserve a therapist who will actually engage with you, celebrate your wins, and gently challenge you when you need it. No sugarcoating, but always with compassion. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. I specialize in working with women, young adults, adolescents, first responders, healthcare workers, and immigrants navigating life's most difficult moments. Whether you're carrying invisible weight, feeling stuck, or simply ready to finally put yourself first, I want to help you get there. Outside of my clinical work I am a mother, author, speaker, and advocate for mental health awareness. Life has taught me firsthand that healing is possible even when it feels impossibly far away. That lived experience shapes everything about how I show up for my clients. You don't have to keep holding it all alone. I'm here.

When life feels heavy, confusing, or harder to manage than it used to, having the right support can make all the difference. I began working in the mental health field 20 years ago after earning my undergraduate degree from Averett University, and later returned to school to earn my Master’s in Counseling from Old Dominion University. Over the course of my career, I have worked with a wide range of individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, psychosis, crisis situations, and chronic stress. Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in survival mode, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to provide a steady, compassionate space where you can feel understood, build coping skills, and begin working toward greater clarity, stability, and emotional well-being.

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and accepted from the very beginning. I believe that healing happens through genuine connection, trust, and collaboration. I work with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, self-esteem challenges, ADHD, and grief. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your unique needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season or simply want to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence and hope.

Hello! My name is Meredith. I am an LPC, and have been in private practice since 2021. I am deeply passionate about what I do and I'm so glad to be getting started on Grow. As a therapist, I intentionally try to bring my most genuine and authentic self to my clients. I know how crucial this is as the basis of a productive working relationship. My sessions are primarily client-led, meaning I will prioritize what feels most prescient to you on a given day, and meet you where you are. At the same time, I will help ensure that we are consistently working toward your specific goals. I feel that the best therapeutic outcomes come from the most secure and trusting counseling relationships, and that is what I try to provide. It is probably also important for any potential client to know that my office will always be a safe space for all, regardless of belonging to any underserved, disenfranchised community. When I am not at work, I love cooking, all things macabre and scary- books, movies, podcasts, and I love reading and hanging out with my family. I am passionate about all kinds of art and the written word. I recently took up archery, and it is a great outlet. Otherwise, I am an indoor type of gal, especially in the summer. I am quick to laugh, and will often crack a joke at my own expense.

Congrats on taking the first step in initiating therapy. It may not always be easy, but taking time for your well-being is always worth it. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience in mental health. I've had the privilege of working with trauma survivors from a broad range of sociocultural backgrounds, including combat Veterans, survivors of sexual trauma, and older adults.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Virginia and Florida with a passion for supporting adults who are navigating challenges such as addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, or the everyday stressors that can leave us feeling stuck. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted from carrying their struggles alone, wanting a safe and nonjudgmental space to be heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to help you build healthier ways of coping, strengthen your sense of self, and create the balance and peace you’ve been searching for.

Hello and welcome! I am genuinely excited to embark on this transformative journey of healing and self-discovery with you. With two decades of extensive experience as a licensed professional counselor in both Virginia and Texas, I am deeply committed to guiding you in discovering your unique path toward mental and emotional wellness. My therapeutic approach is an integrative blend that includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), mindfulness practices, and behavioral therapy. Each method is carefully tailored to address your individual needs and circumstances, ensuring that our work together is both effective and relevant to your personal experiences. I take great pride in being a compassionate listener, creating a safe and nurturing space where you can express yourself openly and without judgment. Through insightful, evidence-based strategies, I strive to equip you with the essential tools and understanding needed to facilitate meaningful change and foster personal growth. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, empowering you to overcome obstacles and embrace the possibilities ahead. Let's embark on this inspiring journey together, one step at a time!

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.

Hi, My name is Kristel. I am an LCSW who provides talk therapy via Telehealth. I am a multifaceted individual with diverse life experiences that inform my perspective. As a former military brat and spouse, I've intimately understood the complexities of life's transitions. My journey has taken me from being a young wife to mature single and dating, stay-at-home mom to working mom, anxious new parent to accepting mother of teens, rule follower to empowered, scarcity mindset to abundance mindset, employee to entrepreneur, stuck to the growth mindset, financially insecure to thriving, trauma victim to survivor, neuro-ambiguous to neurodivergent, granting me a unique appreciation for all the roles I have experienced in my life. 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 BIPOC and 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.

My name is Ebony Brown. I am an LCSW with a background in trauma-focused and mindfulness-based approaches. I work with individuals who are looking to overcome past challenges, build emotional resilience, and develop practical skills to navigate everyday life. I tailor each session to your unique strengths and goals, and I’m excited to support you on your journey. I enjoy what I do!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and genuinely accepted. I work with children and families, and I bring creativity, humor, and a down-to-earth approach into every session. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating sometimes it looks like play, laughter, art supplies on the floor, or learning new ways to connect in the middle of everyday chaos. I meet clients exactly where they are, not where anyone thinks they “should” be. Every child and every family is different, so I tailor my approach to fit their strengths, challenges, and goals. I’m especially I take a child-centered, relationship-first approach to therapy. I believe real growth happens when children feel safe, understood, and accepted not judged or “fixed.” I meet each child and family exactly where they are, adjusting expectations to fit their developmental and emotional needs while building on their unique strengths. My work is neurodiversity- If you’re looking for a therapist who gets your child’s unique needs and knows that change doesn’t have to be boring or stressful, you’re in the right place! I love helping kids and families find their groove through creative, play-filled sessions that make therapy feel more like fun than work. Together, we’ll come up with real, workable solutions that fit.

I know how easy it is to become the person everyone depends on while quietly carrying stress, pressure, anxiety, or emotional pain underneath the surface. Many of the clients I work with are high functioning professionals, caregivers, parents, and leaders who are used to pushing through life while putting their own emotional needs on the back burner. Over time, that emotional weight can start showing up in relationships, work, sleep, mood, self esteem, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you no longer feel like you have to hold everything together alone. I specialize in EMDR therapy and work with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, grounded, and direct. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with someone who is present, engaged, and genuinely invested in helping you heal and grow. Together, we will explore not only what is happening in the present, but also how past experiences may still be shaping the way you think, feel, react, and connect with others today. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful experiences so you can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and peace. With over 16 years of experience in mental health and substance use recovery, I am passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and feel more emotionally connected, balanced, and like themselves again. I provide virtual therapy to clients in Georgia, Florida, and Virginia.

Hi! My name is Deborah Berkley. I have been privileged to provide counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults for the past thirty-four years. I love my work. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental setting for both my in-person and telehealth clients, so that they can reach their personal goals and dreams. I am a board-certified Licensed Professional Counselor, a Clinical Supervisor, and a certified Trauma Professional. I have spoken at an international conference on transpersonal psychology in Vancouver, British Columbia. I am the founder of The Madeline Centre, a group of dedicated counseling professionals who provide outpatient, substance-use, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization services. Animal-assisted therapy is available for in-person clients. My three Shih Tzus(Oliver, Gracie, and Bob-Bob) will be delighted to support you on your healing journey.

Hi, I’m Krystal. From an early age, I’ve felt a strong calling to help others, and that passion continues to guide my work today. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May 2020, after completing my Bachelor’s in Human Services. With over 10 years of experience supporting both adults and children, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including intensive in-home services, community mental health, and private practice. These experiences have shaped my ability to meet people where they are and provide care that feels supportive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. I truly value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. No matter your background or what you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone—I’m here to walk alongside you.

If you're grappling with anxiety, stress, worry, or depression, know you've found a compassionate partner here to help. Since 2014, I've guided countless individuals to reclaim their lives, cultivating confidence and ease, no matter what challenges arise. My passion is witnessing your transformation from apprehension to peace. A significant part of my expertise is dedicated to understanding and supporting individuals with ADHD. It's more than just focus; it's a unique way the brain processes information, impacting organization, emotions, and time perception. If you've felt misunderstood, struggled with procrastination, or been overwhelmed, I offer clarity and practical strategies. Many clients discover that by understanding their ADHD brain, they can harness its strengths and build systems that truly work, transforming struggles into paths to success and self-acceptance. My goal is to help you unlock your full potential. Beyond these core areas, I recognize that life's complexities interweave. The anxiety or depression you experience might be exacerbated by big decisions you're struggling to make, or difficulties in navigating relationships. These can be isolating. I offer a supportive space to explore these complexities, developing effective communication and healthy boundaries. We'll empower you to make choices aligning with your values, fostering more peaceful and fulfilling connections in your life.

If you’ve spent a long time feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or weighed down by things from your past, you don’t have to carry all of that on your own. Nor do you need to change who you are. You deserve to feel more like yourself, not less. My work is about getting to know the real you and nurturing the strengths, intuition, and resilience you already have. I’m here to offer a space where you can be supported and understood without judgment. I’m on your side.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the states of Virginia, Kansas, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, and a Licensed Clinical Supervisor for the state of Virginia, with a passion for helping individuals navigate sex and relationship challenges, mental health disorders, personality disorders, grief, and overall mental wellness. My journey in this field began with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, a minor in Psychology from Thiel College, and an Associate’s degree in Business Administration from Germanna Community College. I later earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. Pursuing excellence, I became a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist and obtained certification in Suicidology. Over time, my clinical focus has naturally evolved towards specializing in personality disorders and becoming a certified sex and relationship therapist. Known for my transparency, empathy, and a healthy dose of humor, I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel understood and supported. I also enjoy sharing my insights as a contributing author on sex and relationship issues for various online and print publications. Passionate about the importance of self-care, I love to unwind by hiking and camping in the mountains, soaking up the serenity of the ocean, and cherishing time with my family and friends. Despite having three amazing kids, I am (almost) equally obsessed with being a pet mom to my heavyweight feline companion, Perry, and my loveable, always-happy golden retriever, Murphy.

Sometimes life feels unmanageable or even unfamiliar; the heaviness is more than you can bear. Do you feel overwhelmed or overlooked? My goal is to ensure that my client's feel seen and validated while working to empower them with tools to navigate their current challenges. Therapy is a collaborative effort that allows you to use your voice in identifying solutions for your life.

I am a therapist based in Southwest Virginia, and a US Navy veteran. I work with adults across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and anger. I have a particular interest in helping clients better understand and manage anger, whether it shows up as frustration, irritability, or feeling overwhelmed. My ideal client is someone who is open to self-reflection and ready to better understand their patterns, even if they are not sure where to start. They may feel stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed, and are looking for practical tools alongside deeper insight. I work well with individuals who want a collaborative, honest space where they can talk openly, be challenged when needed, and still feel supported. In terms of personality, I am grounded, direct, and approachable. I pride myself on being authentic, which can sometimes come off as goofy. I have a wide variety of educational experiences in regards to the human condition and love discussions around a variety of subject matters. I aim to create a space that feels both safe and productive, where clients can be themselves without judgment, but also move toward meaningful change. I value authenticity, humor when appropriate, and a straightforward style that helps clients feel understood while also making real progress.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I received my Masters from LeTourneau University and have been practicing for 4 years. I work with adult clients living with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, and anger. The goal is to provide a safe space for clients to openly talk, gain self-awareness, and identify ways to overcome their challenges.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

Welcome, I am Virginia and it is so nice to meet you! Thank you for taking this first step in feeling better, I believe this is the hardest one because people generally don't wake up one morning and desire to include a stranger in on their personal thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and troublesome behaviors. I hope to be a helpful fellow traveler to you and I am happy to let you be in the drivers seat regarding your treatment, I have lot's of suggestions - but they each only work if you put them to use:-)

Hi, I’m Bryan McHenry. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. First and foremost, I applaud your courage in seeking mental health counseling. In this season of your life, you might’ve discovered a lot of uncomfortable feelings and thoughts. That is very difficult to manage alone. Coming into the counseling process is a new beginning of wholeness and healing. Thank you for allowing me the honor to be apart of that journey.

I would be honored to work with you during this time of your life. Let’s get to work.

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

Hi! I'm Alexis and I am glad you are here. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the DMV with over 12 years of experience and I've worked with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns from anxiety and relationship trauma to life transitions and unexpected turns. I’ve earned a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and a Nonprofit Management, and that dual background shapes how I work. I care about outcomes as much as I care about the therapeutic process which means you'll leave sessions with more than just insight. You'll leave with practical methods to apply to your everyday life.

I have been practicing in the field for over 10 years. I have co-facilitated men’s group, spoken at conferences, adolescent consults and individual therapy.

Therapy is all about you and helping you meet short/long term goals. You got this.

Hi there! Let's sit and chat... Are you looking for a safe space to explore and organize your thoughts and feelings? Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience one another as real people. I can assure you our sessions will be as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for. We'll work on building trust and a sense of safety, using open communication and humor, to identify how we can improve on your already existing coping skills, supports, and knowledge. Although this process may be challenging, we will work to enjoy the process as much as possible, so you can experience yourself, your relationships, and your life in new ways.

Hello, I am Michele Gunter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have worked for over 24 years as a LCSW. I have a wealth of experience helping people from ages 5-85 with issues such anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, mood disorders, OCD, and many more issues. I focus on meeting my client where they are and helping them gain insight, understanding, self-discovery, and healing. My goals is to empower you to free yourself from the patterns that hinder your well-being, fostering resilience, and a renewed sense of self.

If you can read this, you made the first step. Congratulations. Seeking therapy is hard. Most people delay and tell themselves that whatever they are experiencing must be the way life is. Chances are if you have reached the point to begin exploring therapy, counseling can help make your life better. While therapy is often hard, it can be an enjoyable and uplifting experience as well. I believe that you cannot laugh without a combination of insight and relief. You can expect some humor in most sessions. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. In that time I have worked with men, women, teens, and families on a wide variety of issues. Sometimes that work simply involved helping them through a particular incident or life change that overwhelmed them. Other times our work together centered around longstanding issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. In addition to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy, I also offer a fourth-wave therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I have found this technique to be highly effective in helping people with trauma and or anxiety. Our minds and bodies are connected. Anyone who has experienced a tight neck and shoulders or an upset stomach when they were stressed knows this. EFT uses acupressure (done by the client) and cognitive interventions to provide fast and effective relief. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I am ready to help you through the challenges you are facing. In addition to counseling, I also provide vocational testing, coaching, and consulting. I provide both Christian and secular counseling depending on the needs of my clients. For clients with high level confidentiality concerns due to corporate or clearance issues, there are ways we can do EFT without you ever speaking out loud about events.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health needs.

I believe that each person has an inherent capacity for resilience, growth, and healing—and my role is to help you reconnect with that inner strength. Whether you’re navigating overwhelming emotions, life transitions, or long-standing challenges, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

Welcome to FaithWorks Therapy! I provide virtual therapy for adults, couples, and families across Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, New Jersey, Nevada, Georgia, and Illinois. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship challenges, family conflict, and life transitions in a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. My approach is tailored to your unique needs and goals, empowering you to build healthier relationships, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Faith-based counseling is available upon request for those who wish to incorporate their Christian faith into therapy, but it is always optional and never required.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Virginia, dedicated to helping individuals move from feeling overwhelmed or stuck toward a more grounded and intentional life. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and identity-related concerns. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. In therapy, I draw from psychodynamic principles to help clients better understand how past experiences and relational patterns may be influencing current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. At the same time, I incorporate reality therapy to keep the work practical and present-focused—helping clients clarify what they want, what they are doing, and whether their current choices are moving them closer to or further from their goals. This balance allows us to explore deeper emotional roots while also building concrete strategies for change. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe, honest, and nonjudgmental space. I aim to meet clients where they are without pressure, while also gently challenging them to grow. My style is warm, direct, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience. I am especially interested in working with clients who are ready to take an active role in their healing process, even if they are unsure where to start. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful, sustainable change. My practice is designed to be accessible and supportive, whether you are seeking short-term guidance through a specific challenge or longer-term work focused on deeper emotional growth and self-understanding.

Hi and welcome to the first step in your healing journey. I understand that taking this first step can be difficult, but it is courageous and I'm here to support you on your journey. I have 15 years of experience in the mental health field working with adults, adolescents, children, and families with a wide range of mental health needs including anxiety, trauma, depression, grief and loss, parenting, and life stressors. My diverse background equips me to help people in different stages of life with a variety of needs. I truly enjoy working with children but I have a general belief that in-person care is the best option. I have treatment specific interest in treating anxiety disorders and the inevitable complications with daily life struggles that develop with anxiety-based symptoms. Anxiety is often linked to events that were experienced as traumatic or confusing in childhood or during our adult lives. I believe that everyone is unique as well as their life experiences therefore treatment interventions need to be individualized.

You’re showing up for everyone else—but when was the last time you showed up for yourself? Life can be overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, addiction, or simply trying to make it through the day. Hi, I’m Vanecia Storms, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. I help adults get real about what they’re feeling, reconnect with their strengths, and take powerful steps forward—without the pressure to be perfect. Therapy with me is a space where you can exhale, be heard, and maybe even laugh a little. Whether you're adjusting to a life change, overwhelmed by expectations, or struggling with past patterns, I’ll meet you where you are—with compassion, humor, and proven strategies for change.

Welcome! I'm Stephanie Freeman,MSW, LCSW, LCAS. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

Clients shouldn't have to be in therapy forever! Together, we'll co-create a balanced approach combining active listening with practical techniques, helping you reclaim your narrative and overcome obstacles. My clinical and holistic approach aims for deeper alignment and fulfillment—think more water, less soda. As an LCSW, I'm trained in EMDR, certified in Theta Healing, Reiki, Transformational Life Coaching, and Therapeutic Touch, and am a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore your wants, needs, and emotions. You know yourself best, and our work is about uncovering your truths rather than imposing mine. Together, we'll determine the tools and approaches that best suit your needs, ensuring you feel heard, validated, and empowered. The goal is to help you confidently manage challenges independently over time. We'll walk side-by-side, with you gradually taking the lead and me offering steady support. If you have pressing concerns, those always take precedence. Our sessions focus on understanding HOW you think, not just WHAT you think, exploring both conscious and unconscious beliefs and emotions. You'll leave with clear, actionable steps, such as mindfulness exercises, creative writing prompts, meditation, and breathwork techniques to regulate emotions and reclaim your narrative. Therapy isn't about fixing what's "broken" but enhancing alignment and fulfillment while overcoming obstacles. By focusing on your goals and measuring progress, we can eliminate stigma, leaving shame behind and empowering you toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment.

"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, ” Christopher Robin. Hi there, I am Stephanie. Counseling can be a positive and life-changing experience. I strive to bring an effective blend of experience, expertise, and clarity to the counseling process in order to maximize outcomes and provide genuine healing and wholeness to individuals and families. It will be my honor to walk with you through your journey of healing.

I am excited about the success my clients have accomplished. It is their discovery that is most interesting: for example, it is possible to change personality even though we have always been told it never happens! We approach this by exploring emotions that form the building blocks of personality. In this sort of work, I find that the most effective therapy happens when clients and I form a interpersonal therapeutic bond of trust. By the way, when I say that change is possible , I really believe it, and I am confident that if you are willing to work on what many would call impossible...building trust...you will leave our sessions feeling a sense of increased wholeness.

I view us as the ultimate team! You are the expert of your own life story. I am here to help you rewrite the parts that don't quite fit with the version of yourself you want to be. Using empathy and humor, we will work together to redefine the narrative you have of yourself into one you are proud to take ownership of.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I started out my professional journey in Tennessee in 2010. I was licensed in Tennessee in 2015. I moved to New Mexico in 2019 and then to Virginia in 2022. My therapy techniques tend to be eclectic with mainly person centered (focusing on rapport and the therapeutic relationship), cognitive behavioral (looking at thought patterns), and creative techniques. I currently see people virtually but eventually hope to expand to see people in person and also have group therapy.

I enjoy working with people to help them build a strong sense of self, encourage their confidence in relationships, and help foster a sense of calm and security in their everyday life. I enjoy helping parents navigate the many challenges that come our way. I believe people seek therapy for many reasons: adjustment to a new city or life situation, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or problems with relationships. Counseling is a process that most of us could benefit from time to time at different stages in life, as it brings an outsider's perspective to events, we are faced with in day-to-day life in a nonjudgmental way.

I am passionate about helping people. I enjoy seeing growth, change, and seeing my patients identify hidden potentials. I enjoy seeing my patients being comfortable to express themselves during sessions. I believe that most of what one needs to conquer this life is built within. I specialize in helping my patients obtain insight into the things that make them strong, in addition to helping my patients recognize the power of their character. If you're looking to overcome, to recognize your strengths and to propel forward with the life that's ahead of you, I am here for you! Life can be challenging however working together makes us Overcomers!

Hello! I am Gladys Duran, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Master of Education (M.Ed.) with 28 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, heal, and thrive. As the founder of **Pivotal Beginnings**, I provide 100% remote, secure telehealth therapy tailored to clients across Florida and Virginia. My practice is a safe, compassionate, and deeply affirming space. I specialize in individual therapy across the lifespan, working with teenagers (13–17), adults, and elders. Because I believe everyone deserves to be truly seen and respected, I am a dedicated advocate for the LGBTQ+ community—providing identity-affirming care for transgender, non-binary, and gender-fluid individuals—as well as specialized support for women. As a fully bilingual therapist, I am proud to offer therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring you can express yourself in the language you feel most comfortable using. Whether you are navigating the pressures of school, balancing a demanding career, exploring your identity, or adjusting to a new chapter in retirement, we will work collaboratively at your pace. My goal is to help you safely process stressors, build resilient coping mechanisms, and move toward lasting healing.

My zeal is to equip individuals and families to be successful through collaboration of treatment goals and exploring innovative solutions, I am passionate about creating environments for individuals to excel by overcoming obstacles/barriers. My drive in practice comes from a quote by MLK “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”.

I believe in the person-centered approach. I meet you where you are. I work across the life span, with my youngest patient being age 3 and my oldest patient being in their 80s. Each person is different and comes from a different experience, so I work from a holistic approach. Whether it's depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, OCD, trauma or some other issue, no one experiences symptoms the exact same way. Therefore, their treatment should not be a cookie cutter approach. Over my 15 years experience, I have been able to meet many people along the way through working in the school system, to inpatient facilities and outpatient services. I look foward to meeting you and working together to meet your needs.

Welcome! I am Yulia, a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Virginia, Alabama, and Missouri with over 8 years of experience in mental health in a variety of settings. I am here to help you overcome challenges that you are currently facing. Our life journey may surprise us with many joyful and positive experiences, but there are certainly times when we stumble upon disappointments, stressful life events, health concerns, loss of a loved one, or traumatic experiences that bring us down to our knees and make us question the fairness of life itself and our place in it. If you can relate, you have come to a right place and I applaud you for finding strengths to reach out for help.

Hello! My name is Kody and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or navigating significant life transitions. Many of my clients are women working to rediscover themselves, parents trying to find balance, or individuals with ADHD seeking greater self-understanding. My goal is to provide a supportive, down-to-earth space where clients feel understood, gain deeper self-awareness, build healthier coping skills and relationships, and create lasting change that helps them feel more confident, connected, and aligned with the life they want to live.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that something isn't OK right now. That something might be new, or it might have been around a long time. You might be able to describe it perfectly, or you might just feel off without knowing why. Either way — you're here, and that's the only thing that matters right now. I start from wherever you are. No assumptions, no judgments, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just a genuine desire to understand you — what's brought you here, what you're carrying, and what you're hoping for. Therapy with me — whether you're coming alone or with a partner — tends to be honest and occasionally even a little lighthearted. The human experience isn't black and white, and neither is the work we'll do together. What stays consistent is that you'll have a space that belongs to you, where nothing you say or feel changes how I show up for you. For couples, that space belongs to both of you equally. I don't take sides. What I do is help you see the pattern you're both caught in — because most of the time it's the cycle doing the damage, not each other. When that shifts, something else becomes possible. No matter what it is you are navigating — depression, relationships, identity, or the gap between how you show up and how you actually feel inside — you don't have to have it figured out to reach out.

Hi, I’m Anneka. I am a licensed therapist with a warm, down to earth style who believes in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels.

My name is Jennifer Bailey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Drama Therapist. I help clients identify and pursue the goals that lead to a life filled with meaning, pride, and contentment. Now, you may be wondering: “What exactly is a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT)?” Simply put, it means I integrate elements of theater and creative expression into the therapeutic process. With me, you have options. You might choose a traditional talk-therapy session to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. Or, if words don’t feel like enough, you might try something more experiential—writing, movement, role-play, or even reimagining and practicing conversations that keep replaying in your mind. Talk therapy is a powerful tool for growth, but sometimes it takes more than words to truly process what’s happening inside. That’s where creativity can open new doors. Whether through conversation, movement, sound, or artistic expression, I provide a space where you can choose what feels most healing and helpful. I would be honored to support you—whether that’s working toward personal goals, processing difficult emotions, or making positive and lasting changes in your life.

We all have the opportunity in our life to start fresh. During the journey, we change, grow, heal, destroy, and can improve our lives. You will experience difficulties, and you are not alone.

I have many years of clinical training with life experiences, including successes and failures, but we are not provided a how to manual at birth. I have a sense of humor, but good sound clinical judgment, so take a leap of faith.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, or major life changes begin to take over. My goal is to provide a place where you feel heard, respected, and challenged to grow. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems—it should help you develop practical tools that create lasting change. Before becoming a therapist, I had careers in oceanography and motorsports, experiences that taught me resilience, discipline, and the importance of adapting when life takes unexpected turns. For more than a decade, I've had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, veterans, and families in outpatient, hospital, and residential settings. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, anger, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to understand what's keeping you there and develop realistic strategies for moving forward. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and solution-focused. I primarily utilize Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and motivational techniques to help clients identify unhealthy thinking patterns, improve emotional regulation, and build healthier relationships. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel both supported and appropriately challenged.

I firmly believe that every interaction we have in life has an impact on all parties involved, regardless of how insignificant the encounter may seem. Even if the client and I agree or disagree about us being a good fit, we are both changed. We might not notice the change at first, but it's there. I try to bring my 100% to every session, and I hope my clients do the same with the understanding that our 100% changes every day due to life situations. I do share personal experiences with clients if it is appropriate to do so and I feel it would benefit the client. I am a mom of three young children and a wife, so I understand how life can get busy and overwhelming at times. I love to call these times our Life's Storms. We are just getting through the day(s) even if it just barely. By clients choosing to try to continue on even at the hardest points in the Life's Storms, they are braving Life's Storms. This doesn't mean that there aren't times when clients will have thoughts of wanting to just pause life, or run away and start over because that is normal, and coming to counseling to seek help is brave and hard in and of itself.

I am very eager to meet with you and begin the work of enriching your life through the empowerment of your choices and mastery of your world. In my work as a Therapist, my clinical training and experience encompasses depression, couples enrichment, grief/loss, separation/divorce, relationship issues, and other emotional/interpersonal disturbances. I specialize in trauma such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, and death/illness.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Nationally Certified Counselor in Virginia, dedicated to providing culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care. Fluent in English, Arabic, and Tigrinya, I offer evidence-based therapy for individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns such as trauma, depression, anxiety, anger management, and major life transitions. With advanced training in trauma-focused modalities, I support clients carrying deep emotional wounds by creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for healing. I am especially committed to working with those navigating grief, trauma, interpersonal violence, marital challenges, and the long-term impact of experiences like war, immigration, and incarceration, honoring the cultural identities that shape each client’s story.

We are 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. My practice provides a direct, down-to-earth space for adults navigating major life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and pattern breaking, focusing entirely on real-time reality and practical tools you can use outside of our sessions.

Hi I am Joseph Wall, I am a LPC ( Licensed Professional Counselor) in PA and VA as well as a LMFT ( Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) In Virginia . I specialize in Relational issues in Marriages, Couples, Families, and for Individuals . I focus on attachment based interventions , helping people become Safe, Secure and Stable in the world around them.

I try to create a collaborative relationship between myself and the client. I have the belief that our thoughts are directly connected to how we feel. By working with clients to solve present-day problems it helps the client approach a stronger and healthier sense of self by focusing on the actual lived experience of a person. By helping clients gradually face and come to realize that their assumptions, evaluations and beliefs might be unhealthy and unrealistic. Having the client be aware even after they have learned to recognize when and where their mental processes have gone wrong, it can in some cases take considerable time or effort to replace a dysfunctional process or habit with a more reasonable and adaptive one.

Are you struggling with recent life transitions, feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, or facing emotional challenges that feel too heavy to carry alone? If so, I can help.

With a compassionate and person centered approach, I work collaboratively with individuals to understand their unique struggles and develop strategies to improve their mental and emotional well-being.

My therapeutic style is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, all tailored to meet your specific needs.

Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm so glad you're here. It’s no small thing making the decision to sign up to talk to a stranger about the overwhelming and very often draining circumstances that you’re in. I want to highlight how much being on this site, and looking through profiles is such a significant step toward your mental health goals. Anxiety and improving self image are at the core of my work. I focus on helping clients develop flexible thinking and self-compassion — practical tools that help you step away from self-criticism and patterns that keep life feeling heavy. The goal of this work isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It's about learning to navigate life's challenges with greater flexibility, confidence, and self-understanding.

Do you ever feel stressed out or on edge? Do your thoughts seem to spin out of control or lead to fear of future situations? Does that worry prevent you from being present in the moment or keep you from getting restful sleep at night? If you are ready to regain control of your thoughts and live a more present and fulfilled life then you have come to the right place. Hi! I’m Sarah Theimer, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I am also a Christian and the proud wife of a first responder. I provide anxiety and trauma treatment, helping adults breakthrough the cycle of worry and trauma to live a more present and fulfilled life. To help you reach your goals, I use a two-fold approach by teaching you tools to help cope with everyday stressors and manage the intensity of emotions while exploring past experiences which have/are impacting the way you currently feel/behave. As a therapist, I strongly believe in exploring past hurts and experiences to help you better understand what led you to this point and assist in treating the root causes of the anxiety. I aim to keep sessions goal oriented and structured to assist individuals in meeting their goals. I earned my master’s degree from Lynchburg College in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
