More about Gretchen

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with compassion and strategic guidance.

I focus on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding and resilience. My therapeutic work emphasizes healing from social anxiety, isolation, and personal struggles with guilt and shame. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore communication challenges, rediscover their sense of purpose, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based techniques that honor each person's unique journey. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients build practical coping skills, enhance self-love, and move toward more fulfilling life experiences. Together, we'll work to transform challenges into opportunities for personal transformation and emotional well-being.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
