Compassionate Anxiety Therapist in McLean, Virginia
Anxiety Therapist Serving McLean and Northern Virginia
Finding Peace in the Midst of McLean’s Demands
Discovering balance, rest, and renewed strength in a busy world
Life in McLean brings countless opportunities, with excellent schools, a thriving community, and close access to Washington, D.C. Yet even in a place filled with accomplishment, many people quietly carry stress, worry, or the fear of not measuring up. On the outside, everything may look polished. Inside, you may feel worn down by the relentless pace.
The good news is that you do not have to stay stuck in this cycle. Anxiety therapy, through Breakthrough Mental Health Counseling, gives you a private, supportive space to step back from constant demands, breathe easier, and reconnect with what matters most. With the right support, you can learn how to calm anxious thoughts, feel more grounded, and move toward the peace and balance you have been longing for.
How Anxiety Therapy Works
Whether you’re managing the rush of Tysons Corner, balancing family life in Chesterbrook, or enjoying quieter streets near Langley or Salona Village, the pace of McLean life can make it hard to slow down. Therapy doesn’t have to add to that stress.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, I provide secure telehealth sessions, so you can receive care from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Together, we’ll focus on:
Calming the constant cycle of anxious thoughts
Building healthier sleep and daily rhythms
Restoring confidence in your ability to handle life’s demands
Gaining tools to ground yourself when emotions feel overwhelming
Identifying the deeper patterns that keep fueling your anxiety
Each session is designed to support your long-term growth, not just quick relief, so you can carry what you learn into your everyday life. Over time, these tools help you create lasting change so that life feels more manageable, peaceful, and fulfilling—not just for a moment, but for the long run.
Does Virtual Therapy Work?
Virtual therapy makes it possible to receive high-quality support without the added stress of commuting or sitting in a waiting room. Even though sessions are held online, the care you receive is just as personal and effective as in person. Using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, you’ll be guided through proven strategies and individualized support designed around your unique needs. Engaging in therapy from your own space can help you feel at ease, making it easier to share openly and fully engage in the process of change.
My Approach to Anxiety Therapy
When we work together, you remain at the center of the process. My role is to guide and support you by clarifying your goals, introducing approaches like EMDR, CBT, or CPT, and helping you decide what feels most aligned with your needs. Each session is intentionally structured to balance warmth with gentle challenge, offering a safe and supportive environment while also encouraging you to grow beyond your comfort zone. Together, we’ll not only work toward easing the intensity and frequency of distressing symptoms, but also uncover how your past experiences influence your present struggles. Over time, you will gain tools to regulate your emotions, build resilience, and approach life’s challenges with greater clarity and strength.
For those who wish to include it, faith can be an integral part of this journey. This may involve prayer during session, exploring how biblical truths complement therapeutic principles, or inviting Jesus into grounding and meditation practices.
Is This the Right Fit for You?
Finding the right therapist is one of the most important steps in starting your healing journey. My goal is to help you feel safe, understood, and supported, while also providing the gentle challenge needed for real growth. Therapy works best when both of us feel confident that our work together will meet your needs.

FAQs

-
Sessions are 45–50 minutes and are $140 each. Because I am a private-pay practice, clients pay directly out-of-pocket. While this means I don’t bill insurance, many people find the privacy and flexibility of self-pay to be a valuable part of their care.
-
Not at all. You don’t need to show up with the perfect words or a clear plan. Our work together often unfolds naturally, beginning with what feels most pressing in the moment.
-
Therapy is a private space to slow down and step away from the demands of daily life. You may be juggling demanding careers, long commutes, and family responsibilities that leave little room to pause. In our sessions, you’ll have time to reflect, process, and gain tools to manage stress, anxiety, or past hurts. The goal is not just to “get through the week” but to help you feel more grounded, balanced, and connected in your daily life.
-
I draw from evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR. Each session is tailored to your goals, whether that means calming racing thoughts, addressing the root of persistent anxiety, or building resilience for the future. For clients who wish, I also utilize Christian Mental Health Counseling, weaving together biblical truths with therapeutic practices.
