Destinee Geoghegan

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I see therapy as a space for connection, self-discovery, and becoming more grounded in who you are. After 10+ years in this field, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t have to be complicated or clinical - it can be honest, real, and human.

I’d like to consider myself a down-to-earth therapist who believes we often carry more strength, wisdom, and ability to heal and grow than we realize. I believe in caring for the whole person and exploring the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, including through movement, time in nature, and simply listening to what our bodies are telling us. My heart has always been in empowering people to navigate the different parts of themselves, understand their experiences, and feel more confident in who they are becoming. I want my clients to feel seen, supported, and free to simply be themselves.

My primary population focus is teenage girls and young women, supporting them through family and women’s issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, anger management. But everyone is welcome here, if you feel a good vibe and think i'm a good fit for you, reach out, i'd be happy to help.

My approach incorporates CBT, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

I bring compassion, honesty, good energy, and a genuine belief that growth doesn’t require you to become someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, embracing all the different parts of who you are, and discovering the strength and potential that have been there all along. I’ll meet you where you are, walk alongside you through the hard parts, and challenge you when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of ✨

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ellicott City

Searching for therapists in Ellicott City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Some therapists may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods in their bios, which can help you understand how they work.

Ellicott City has local counseling options, but availability can vary across Howard County. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Maryland. When narrowing your options, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can also help you learn how each therapist describes their style, communication approach, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Ellicott City can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find Maryland therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
