Ethan Kaste

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Fairfax, VA


Hi, I’m Ethan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.

I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.

Credentials and training:

  • Certified Clinical Traumatologist
  • Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
  • Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

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 Arlington

Searching for therapists in Arlington starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Arlington therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work stress, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Their bio can show whether they use methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what sessions may feel like.

Arlington offers access to therapists across neighborhoods like Ballston, Clarendon, Crystal City, and Shirlington, with both in-person and virtual appointment options. If you want counseling in Arlington near work, home, or transit, location may matter. If your schedule varies, virtual sessions can make it easier to see a therapist licensed in Virginia. Beyond specialty, review appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.

Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Arlington. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
