Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re just getting through the day on autopilot? I work with children, teens, and adults who are moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, and the everyday stress that slowly piles up until something finally gives. Whether you’re in crisis or simply know something needs to change, therapy with me is a place to be honest, feel understood, and start building relief that actually lasts. I offer virtual therapy for clients located anywhere in South Carolina or Virginia, so you can join from home, work, or wherever you feel most comfortable.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington

Finding the right OCD therapist in Arlington starts with understanding what type of care fits your situation. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is one therapy approach commonly used for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many therapists in the Arlington and Northern Virginia area are trained in ERP as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). If you're also considering medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can work alongside a therapist to address both sides of care. Knowing whether you want therapy, medication support, or both can help narrow your search.

Arlington's proximity to Washington, D.C., Falls Church, and the broader Northern Virginia corridor means there are many licensed providers nearby — but confirming who actually accepts your insurance and has availability can be time-consuming. Look for a provider whose bio describes specific experience with OCD, not just general anxiety. Reading about their approach and background before booking can help you feel more confident about the fit.

Therapy in the Arlington area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. You can confirm whether your specific plan is accepted in your area directly on Headway.
