Ethan Kaste

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8 mi away • Fairfax, VA


Hi, I’m Ethan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.

I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.

Credentials and training:

  • Certified Clinical Traumatologist
  • Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
  • Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

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 Falls Church

Searching for therapists in Falls Church starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, trauma, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and population experience that fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their approach, what sessions may feel like, and whether their background aligns with the kind of support you want.

Falls Church is a smaller city within the wider Northern Virginia area, so local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search to more therapists licensed in Virginia, while in-person care may be a better fit if you prefer an office setting close to home, work, or transit. Beyond location and format, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist offers free phone consultations, and whether their communication style feels clear and direct. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare practical fit as well as clinical focus.

Therapy in Falls Church can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can filter by location, virtual or in-person care, specialty, availability, and insurance, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
