Hi, I’m Marlane.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I provide a safe, supportive space for individuals and families navigating stress, trauma, emotional challenges, and substance use concerns.

With over five years of experience supporting clients in crisis, I use a collaborative approach tailored to your unique needs.

Stephanie Geiger

Therapist

Virtual • Charlottesville, VA


I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.

I love the work that I do and the healing relationships I have been able to foster with my clients. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care and I want to be an advocate of that for my clients. I welcome anyone who thinks they may want some support, whether long-term or short-term to reach out to me and set up a brief phone consultation.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Chesapeake, VA

Searching for therapists in Chesapeake starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may be the right fit. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare Chesapeake therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Chesapeake offers a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Greenbrier, Great Bridge, and Battlefield, with access to both in-person and virtual appointments. If you prefer meeting in an office, location and drive time may matter. If your schedule changes often, virtual sessions can make it easier to find a therapist with availability that fits your week. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers flexible scheduling, provides a free phone consultation, and describes a communication style that feels aligned with what you want from care.

Therapy in Chesapeake can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, read detailed bios, and book directly. You can browse Chesapeake counseling options, review therapist profiles, and choose a time when you’re ready.
