More about Carol
- 15 years' experience

- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Virginia, I bring 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, isolation, workplace dynamics, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation.
I have extensive expertise in addressing issues such as relationship challenges, chronic pain, women's experiences, professional stress, and post-traumatic healing. My work is grounded in understanding the intricate ways personal struggles intersect with broader life contexts, always centering the client's inherent strength and resilience.
I approach therapy as a collaborative process, believing that every person has the capacity for growth, self-understanding, and positive change. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering professional guidance and genuine support as you navigate your path toward emotional well-being.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
