Stephanie Geiger

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.

April Clements

April Clements

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Virginia


I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 16 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for providing compassionate, individualized mental health care.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.

Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.

I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, or the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much on your own, you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to help you find steadier ground.

I'm Darryl Webster, a licensed therapist with 35 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's heavier seasons—including those caring for someone they love. My approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness—practical, evidence-based tools you can actually use, paired with a warm and unhurried space to be heard.

Together, we'll work at your pace to ease what's overwhelming you and help you move toward greater balance, resilience, and a sense of purpose. Whatever you're facing, healing is possible, and I'd be glad to walk alongside you.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Richmond

Finding couples therapists in Richmond starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, relationship counseling, and marriage counseling in Richmond may support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches such as the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy in their profiles.

Richmond offers a range of in-person and virtual couples therapy options, which can help you find a therapist who works for both partners’ schedules. You may prefer an office near your neighborhood, workplace, or school, or virtual sessions that make it easier to meet from separate locations. As you compare Richmond couples counseling options, check appointment availability, session structure, and whether a therapist offers a brief phone consultation to assess fit for couples specifically. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist works with partners and what to expect in a first session.

Couples therapy in Richmond 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 you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for Richmond couples therapy, filter by preferences, review therapist bios, and book directly with a therapist who accepts your plan and is accepting new patients.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
