How I Work (ACT‑Led, Evidence‑Based)

  • For clients in Northern Virginia and the DC metro, ACT supports those in high-responsibility government, security, and nonprofit roles — helping you build flexibility, reduce avoidance, and live by your values even under pressure.

  • CBT here often addresses workplace stress, harsh self-talk tied to achievement culture, and practical skills for balancing long hours, commuting, and family obligations.

  • CPT is a strong fit for federal employees, veterans, and clearance-holding professionals navigating beliefs around safety, trust, and control shaped by trauma.

  • Exposure therapy is introduced gradually — often relevant for clients who avoid particular professional settings, public spaces, or reminders of service-related trauma.

  • Mindfulness tools help widen tolerance for stress in a region where political and occupational demands can be overwhelming — whether through grounding skills during commutes or regulation practices between high-stakes meetings.

What to Expect in Therapy

  • First Session:

    We’ll begin by identifying your immediate concerns and long-term goals, always at a pace that feels manageable. For many in government, military, or high-security roles, the first session also provides a space to establish trust and confidentiality. You’ll leave with a concrete plan and skills to use right away.

  • Private, Flexible Online Care: & Flexible:

    Sessions are offered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth system. I run a self-pay model (with superbills for OON reimbursement) to ensure your information stays off insurance records — a priority for many clearance-holding professionals.

  • Frequency & Duration:

    We’ll decide together whether weekly or bi-weekly sessions fit best. Options include time-limited protocols (8–16 sessions) or extended therapy when needed to address complex trauma or relational patterns.
