Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Virginia

I use CBT, and I have also been trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I find this extremely helpful - the way we think about a thing (especially ourselves!) directly impacts how we feel about it. Many of these thoughts become automatic, but when we are honest about the way we are thinking about things and really examine our beliefs we find that they are not completely true. It's powerful to take control of your thought processes! I help a lot of people learn these skills, but I also find a lot of healing value in more expressive and experiential forms of therapy.

Hello! I'm the sole therapist of my practice, Dahlia Wellness LLC, founded around the belief that true healing and change requires an environment where one is witnessed non-judgmentally for who they really are. I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle with low self worth, loss of hope, feelings of anxiety, depression, and the short and long impact of traumatic relationships or experiences. I work with individuals who are struggling with self harm or suicidal ideation, and I am affirming of all gender/sexual identifications and expressions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health issues. It helps clients recognize distorted thinking, develop healthier thought patterns, and adopt more effective coping strategies. CBT can help by reducing symptoms of conditions like depression and anxiety, improving problem-solving skills, and enhancing overall emotional well-being.

The first session involves A LOT of questions! I want to learn all about you; why you are coming to therapy; what you enjoy about your life as well as what you want to change. By the end of the first session, together we develop goals you would like to accomplish in therapy. These goals will include thoughts, feelings, and maybe even physical experiences of anxiety and distress you want to change. CBT uses data from our thoughts and our behaviors to help identify what is working and what may not be working. Through identification of both positive and negative core beliefs, together we can begin to alter your experience of the world around you and change your response to increase healthy behaviors and decrease negative experiences (i.e. anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, irritability, etc).

This therapist prefers this approach. People learn how to identify and skills that aid in changing destructive thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions.

My counseling experience includes treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice is highly individualized to address common symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I treat my clients as unique individuals with their own distinctive concerns impacting their lives. I greatly honor the trust I am given by them to help them navigate difficult times and unexpected life changes. I believe the decision to start the journey towards healing and reconciliation demonstrates a great deal of courage and resolve. Together we can discern a path towards a more balanced and joyful life. Emotional/spiritual growth and symptom reduction are the primary focus of practice. I accomplish this by helping clients understand how their internal life is interacting with outside stressors causing discomfort and impeding growth. I also endeavor to help clients recognize destructive patterns in personal relationships that may be keeping them from further healing. In addition to private practice experience, I also have pastoral/spiritual counseling experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about fact-checking your brain. We all have an "Inner Critic" that tells us lies like "I'm not good enough" or "If I make a mistake, everyone will hate me." CBT helps us catch those automatic thoughts, put them on trial, and replace them with more realistic, compassionate thoughts. It is a practical, skills-based approach that gives you tools you can use immediately.

Hi, I’m Jenn. I'm a Resident in Counseling and the founder of The Mind Garden, a boutique, online-only practice in Virginia. I specialize in helping millennials who are exhausted from holding it all together. If you are the person everyone else relies on, but you feel like you have no one to lean on yourself, you are in the right place. If you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the inability to say "no" without guilt, I can help you move from surviving your life to inhabiting it. My approach is warm, evidence-based (IFS & CBT), and entirely human-first.

I utilize CBT for many of the presenting issues.  Many clients are unaware of their negative self-talk which comes out in depression and/or anxiety.  Reframing the negative self-talk can result in a more positive outlook. 

I offer a unique style—a blend of insight-oriented, practical problem solving and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients achieve their goals.
