With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I firmly believe in the parity of mental and physical health. Life often leads us into dark tunnels, and my role in therapy is to guide individuals toward the light at the end of those tunnels.

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 Blacksburg
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.
