Hi. I'm Kris Wegman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have decades of experience working with clients with various behavioral health concerns, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I have had the privilege of working with Veterans for most of my career but have worked on the Civilian side, too.

I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.
Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, or the transitions that come with different stages of life. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change from an eclectic evidenced based approach that promotes hope, stability, and wellness, including faith-based perspective.

In my spare time I love exercising, running miles, and reading educational/spiritual literature to keep myself sharp to assist others in sharpen themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Sterling
Searching for therapists in Sterling starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to discuss. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In Sterling, local therapy options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, so virtual appointments can help expand your search across Virginia. You may want a counseling office near you, a therapist with evening availability, or someone who offers a free phone consultation before the first session. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for details about availability, session format, communication style, and whether they are accepting new patients.
Therapy in Sterling can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual care. You can browse therapists in Sterling, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
