My name is Christy Damrath and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia. I earned my BSW and MSW from Virginia Commonwealth University. Since 2012 I have worked with adult clients experiencing mental illnesses, first in a community based setting and then in an outpatient setting. I have worked with clients experiencing Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Grief and Loss, ADD/ADHD, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I work to build a genuine rapport with clients from the beginning of the first session. I enjoy listening to clients, asking questions, and helping clients identify their goals and work towards reaching their potential. During sessions, I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches to assist clients with processing their thoughts and feelings and to practice the use of healthy coping skills. I look forward to meeting you and working together with you soon.

I believe that it takes strength and courage to ask for help when we are vulnerable. Sharing your challenges is not an easy task and can feel very unsettling. My goal is to support you in your journey with compassion, respect and kindness. I have had many times in my life when I have needed that supportive listener to help me process and reflect on what choices are in front of me. I want you to have an experience that is productive, fruitful and leaves you feeling better about yourself and your life. I want your to feel powerFULL, not powerless, in your life. And I work in ways that I think help people do just that. My primary modality is Cognitive Behavior Therapy which helps us to see how our thoughts impact our actions and how we can shift this. In my own life I use mindfulness techniques to help me cope with life’s stressors and I try to share those methods with others so that they may benefit from this well researched way of remaining calm and centered. Focusing on the solutions is another way that I try to support a forward-thinking approach in therapy. I am strengths based and feminist in my approach with clients as well. That is to say that I recognize the good that people possess but also recognize the reality of things in the world around us, especially the disparities for women. The areas that I have the most effectiveness include anxiety, challenges of parenting, self-esteem issues, women's issues. communication in relationships, family dynamic challenges, military life challenges and more. I have a BA in Psychology from Boston College and an Masters Degree in Social Work from University of Southern Maine. I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in the State of Virginia. I am married with 2 kids and 2 dogs. I look forward to helping you find the opportunity that often comes when we are faced with difficult times in our life.

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia and Colorado, and I have made my home in both places in recent years. Nearly eight years of experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who range in age from five to over 90 years old. Early on I expected to find a preferred population; however, it turns out that I just like working with humans. Commonalities and strengths are always evident to me, even in the face of struggle and adversity. Seeking health and wellness is admirable. Mental health diagnoses contain lists of symptoms that are common to the human experience, and as such, I believe are always addressable. Belief in human worth and capacity for growth are fundamental. As your therapist I will consistently regard you with respect and engagement. I believe that warmth and humor are vital in therapy as in any relationship. I look forward to embarking upon this journey with you!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Virginia. I have over 30 years of experience working with clients presenting with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and adjustment problems. I am certified as a telemental health provider.and also as a clinical trauma professional. My intake process involves a thorough assessment of needs and strengths, usually from a Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach. I strive to help clients to clearly identify the problems that brought them to therapy and the challenges they are facing, and then to collaborate with them to formulate specific, measurable goals to address the identified problems and challenges and find effective solutions. I have extensive experience working with both individuals and couples and enjoy working with clients of various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Before moving to North Carolina in 2019 I worked primarily with active duty or retired military members, their spouses, significant others or family members through the Department of the Navy's Fleet and Family Support program. Military families experience problems arising from frequent moves, extended family separations due to deployments or other assignments, and the anxiety and fear family members feel when the service member is in a dangerous situation or when regular communication is not possible. In addition I assisted clients who had experienced domestic violence or childhood abuse or neglect. I also have extensive experience working with parents to improve communication with their children, learn and apply more effective discipline techniques, and develop helpful behavior management practices. I am also well qualified and experienced in providing clinical services from a Christian perspective for clients who prefer a faith based therapy approach. My approach to therapy is individualized and focused on the unique strengths and challenges of each client. My therapeutic style is engaging and collaborative exploring with each client the strengths he or she already has to find solutions. I draw on tools and perspectives from several approaches including Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I know that it takes courage to reach out for help. I would be honored to assist you as you address the concerns that are motivating you to seek counseling services. I believe that together we can find solutions.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Onancock?

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Onancock, Virginia can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Onancock has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
