I want to provide an environment where you feel like you can be your best self. This happens by providing a safe space for you to feel cozy, welcomed and heard. When you are in the right space and with the right person, it gives you the ability to be open to discuss any issues or concerns to improve and become the best version of you.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen and supported. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance-related concerns, using a collaborative and evidence-based approach tailored to each individual. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, build healthier patterns, and create meaningful change at their own pace.
Do you feel overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted by life’s challenges? Are those challenges affecting your day-to-day life? Do you think you “should” be happy but can’t figure out why you’re not? These are all normal thoughts and feelings and navigating them shouldn’t be so hard! Processing the struggles and transitions we face with a professional can help. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a life transition or changing a pattern that is keeping you stuck.
Hi. My name is Monique Branch, a licensed therapist that provides a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood and encouraged as you navigate life's challenges. Whether dealing with stress, relationship concerns, personal growth, or difficult seasons in life, my goal is to help you build healthier connections with yourself and others. I believe in meeting you where you are, offering compassion without judgement, and working together to create a meaningful change. To me, you are more than a client, you're a person whose story matters.
I'm April — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked alongside people in some of the hardest chapters of their lives: crisis moments in emergency settings, school hallways with overwhelmed teenagers, and outpatient rooms where families were trying to figure out how to be in the same room again. That range of experience has shaped how I work. I know that anxiety looks different in a 15-year-old than it does in a 40-year-old. I know that couples who love each other can still feel like strangers. And I know that healing isn't linear — it takes time, trust, and the right support.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process — thoughtfully, ethically, and at your pace.
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and complex trauma. I keep a warm, empathetic space where clients explore how thoughts and past experiences impact their mood and overall well-being. I genuinely value connection and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship.
I am a state licensed mental health therapist with a strong passion for supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Virginia State University and my Master’s degree in Counseling with a concentration in Community Mental Health from Hampton University. I have also completed additional graduate coursework in clinical psychology. I proudly served in the U.S. Army Reserves for nine years, and I have been working in the mental health field since 2017.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, and I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
My therapeutic approach includes Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe in meeting each client where they are and tailoring treatment to fit their unique needs. My goal is to help you build insight, develop practical coping skills, and gain the confidence needed to navigate life more effectively.
At this time, I offer telehealth services only, providing convenient and accessible care from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Blacksburg, VA
Searching for therapists in Blacksburg starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other styles that fit your needs.
In a smaller city like Blacksburg, local in-person appointment options may be more limited, especially if you want a specific specialty, schedule, or therapist background. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a Virginia-licensed therapist. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session style, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Blacksburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that part of the search clearer. You can enter your insurance details, see therapists who match your preferences, and review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
