I’m Ashinna Cole, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing virtual therapy to individuals experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, and performance anxiety. I’m passionate about helping people who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from experiences that have shaped them, and actively work toward meaningful change.
As a LPC, I know that the client is the expert in their own life, and this truth guides the work we do together. I earned my BA from Lycoming College and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Rider University. My theoretical framework is Person Centered/Solution Focused/CBT via talk therapy. My specialties include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, career challenges, relationship issues, grief, family challenges, and illness.
I have been working in the mental health field for four years and have experience supporting clients ages 5–60. I graduated from Regent University in 2021 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For clients who prefer a faith-based approach, I also integrate Christian principles into therapy sessions.
I believe the most effective care comes from a strong, collaborative partnership. I approach each person as more than a diagnosis, and I value honesty, accountability, and mutual respect in the work we do together. Change is possible—I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’m here to support you in becoming the version of yourself you want to be. My background includes both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nursing from Walsh University, and I bring that clinical foundation into thoughtful, individualized care.
I am a direct, solution- oriented mental health therapist with over 30 years helping people navigate mental health challenges
Something keeps getting in the way - focus, old wounds, stress you can't quite name. I'm Michael, a Virginia LPC who works with adults around ADHD, trauma, and the weight men often carry without much support. Therapy with me is grounded, solution-oriented, and built for real change.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience in both general psychiatry and addiction medicine. My background spans a wide range of mental health conditions — from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and substance use — and I bring a deeply holistic perspective to every patient I work with. I offer telehealth care with flexible scheduling, including early morning appointments starting at 7:30am for those who need care before their workday begins.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alexandria
Searching for therapists in Alexandria starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many therapists list specialties such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Alexandria therapists, look for training, therapy style, and listed focus areas that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Alexandria, local office options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets, so virtual therapy can help broaden your search. You may prefer an in-person therapist near Old Town, Del Ray, or another Alexandria neighborhood, or you may want virtual sessions that fit more easily into your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and communication style.
Therapy in Alexandria can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get clearer pricing before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
