Virtual • Virginia


Hi, I’m Roxi, a mom to grown people, a sister to seven siblings, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I listed my LPC last not because it’s not important but because along my life’s journey and more than thirty plus years of human service and social work experience, I have a lot of practical life and clinical expertise that I’ve accumulated over the years. My LPC allows me to share my experiences with others and with that, I am walking and working in my purpose.

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 Chester

Searching for therapists in Chester starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with the concerns most relevant to you. A bio can also show how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may focus on, and whether their approach feels like a practical match.

Chester is a smaller community, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger Virginia cities. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Virginia. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule fit or easier access from home. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation options, and how clearly their profile explains their approach.

Therapy in Chester can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
