Therapists in Dungannon, VA

Welcome! My name is Alexandra Noel, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with certification in substance abuse (CSAC). I have been working in this field for over 12 years, and areas of expertise include military related populations, addiction recovery, coping with stress, adjustment to new life changes, and trauma. Congratulations on taking the first step in bettering your current situation! You will find that the counseling process is not easy. In fact, It is oftentimes difficult talking to a stranger about the sensitive challenges you face. I get it. My counseling style is person-centered and solution focused. In less "clinical" terms, this means I prefer to take on an approach tailored only to YOU that will allow me to provide you with customized tools based on your specific circumstances. Being solution focused, we will use the past as a reference point to identify the roots of your challenges, but we will place more focus on using a strengths based approach to identify resources and solutions to create change. When working with me, you'll gain access to both a teammate and an advocate to guide you along the way to healing. I am no miracle worker; I cannot promise to wave a magic wand in the air and create change overnight. Despite this, I will always collaborate with you to guide, encourage, provide insight, and celebrate even the smallest milestones together. With all of that said, you are in the driver's seat during sessions with me. You provide the starting point, destination, and any identified roadblocks from the past or anticipated future, and I will provide the map and tools to take you to your destination. Our work together will take you on a journey, and I am eager to partner with you along the way!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (VA) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL). I have over 3 years experience working in a non-profit setting, a residential crisis stabilization unit, a community mental health agency, and a private practice, along with nearly 20 years of experience in a variety of fields including marketing, higher education administration, and K-12 online education. I have worked with a wide range of clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, family and relationship issues, career challenges, and other various stage of life concerns. I also have extensive training and experience working with clients with body-focused repetitive behaviors such as trichotillomania and skin-picking. My counseling style is warm and non-judgmental and I believe in treating all people with respect and compassion. My counseling approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused counseling. I am a collaborative and goal-focused clinician who understands that you are the expert in your own life and I will work with you to tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Tara Lineberry and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia. I earned by Master's of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California. The majority of my experience as a therapist has been surrounding topics of mental health disorders, addiction, domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, trauma, eating disorders, and self esteem. Throughout my career as a therapist I have learned the importance of establishing a positive therapeutic relationship and how vital it is to have trust in the person you are sharing your most private thoughts and concerns with. I understand that many times all a person needs to get through a difficult situation is a non-biased, non-judgmental sounding board where they can share all of the thoughts and feelings they are experiencing and work through all of these things in a safe space. I am a firm believer that most people already know what they need to do in order to help themselves, but need a therapist to sit with them in a safe space and allow the process of thoughts and feelings. I am also a strong believer in the power of identifying personal strengths to draw upon any time life is difficult. My counseling style is open, non-judgmental, caring, and warm. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion and make it a goal to always meet people where they are on their journey of wellness and healing. I utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy to assist people with finding the peace they need to move their life forward. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help. The frequency with which you can have access to a therapist to work through day to day emotions and problem solving is incredibly beneficial for most and a very big difference from traditional outpatient counseling. I usually check messages throughout the day (at least 2-3 times minimally), seven days per week. I offer messaging, live chat, and phone sessions with availability in the evenings and weekends and limited availability during the business day. Please note that what is showing on my calendar may not reflect my only availability so please feel free to always check that out with me through messaging first. It takes a great deal of strength to reach out for help, so I applaud you in taking that major first step, and look forward to an opportunity to assist you on your journey.

I am excited for you that you've chosen to take a step towards healing. It can be scary to face your own judgments and fears. I also think some of the most beautiful experiences come from when we truly embrace our most authentic selves and it requires true strength and bravery to show up for yourself in your most authentic way vulnerabilities and all. I know what it feels like to be lost, broken, confused, or frustrated in life. Together we can help you strengthen your abilities to cope with the twist and turns of life. Don't feel like you currently have any abilities to cope? Don't worry we can find them in you and develop them too. I believe in the healing nature of secure relationships. When you engage in therapy it's my goal to create a safe environment for you to express and explore your story. This helps us both better understand what's happening that brought you to therapy. I work compassionately while monitoring my own life experiences and judgments to ensure I am showing up for you in the most authentic and helpful way. I welcome feedback on our work so I can improve how I work with you. Therapy with me is very collaborative, I listen and gather information, and then listen more. I want to understand you and your unique struggles. Our work together will focus on your goals and help you see improvements in the things that matter most to you. We can identify ways to cope more effectively and change old-held beliefs for a more adaptive outlook on life. My work experience has a vast range. I've worked in homes with developmentally disabled adults, residential, day treatment, and intensive outpatient substance abuse rehabilitation centers, working on the streets with our homeless and those with severe persistent mental illness, in private practice, community mental health agencies, and in schools. Because of the various environments and unique people in each environment, I have been blessed to meet, work with, and alongside some truly amazing people. I have worked with ages 5 to 80+ years of age. I was born and raised in Provo Utah and went to New York University for graduate school. Having spent time in two very different environments I have again been exposed to a variety of backgrounds which has made my life richer. I love to travel, I have visited England and India while seeing the inside of airports in Germany and Iceland so far. I hope to add Italy, Ireland, and Scotland to the list soon. My friends and family describe me as warm, friendly, silly, passionate, and easy to talk to. I have often said to my clients, I may be the one with a fancy paper on the wall, but you are the expert in your life, with the ability to enact the most amazing changes. Sometimes we just have to have some guidance, support, and unconditional love and acceptance. I think you should always feel comfortable with your therapist, If you meet me and decide I am not the right fit, that is fine I would encourage you to find the therapist that is the right fit. It's when we feel supported and safe that we are better able to explore and enact lasting change in our lives.

Hi there, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Carin (Karrine) and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in both California and Virginia. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, teens, adolescents, and children—basically, if you're human and willing to talk, we’ll get along just fine. Therapy with me is not just about venting on a couch (though there’s plenty of space for that too); it’s about creating real, lasting change. I take a solutions-focused approach, which means we’re not just going to dig through the past for sport, we’re going to use what we learned to grow. I like to say therapy isn’t a one-time fix; it’s a lifestyle shift. Like drinking water, getting sleep, and realizing you don’t have to answer that text message right away. Growth is a process, but we’ll make it manageable, meaningful, and enjoyable. I believe in the incredible resilience and ability of people to heal and grow, even if they feel stuck right now. I especially love working with those who understand that the mind and body are a team. One doesn’t clock in without the other. So if you’re paying attention to your physical well-being, that’s already a huge win in our work together. When you come to therapy, come ready to step into the next chapter of your personal growth. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just bring yourself, your story, and willingness to grow. We’ll go from there:) Warm Regards, Carin
