Charlotte Stieg

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. My experience includes college counseling, community mental health, and private practice, where I’ve worked with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

I believe therapy works best when you can feel comfortable being fully yourself. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I want therapy to feel like a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood—not judged or talked down to. Whether you’re working through something that’s been weighing on you for years or navigating a new season of life, I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want.

Welcome! Since space is limited, let's hit the ground running! I have been a counselor since 2003 and am licensed in Virginia, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Prior to this, I worked as a respiratory therapist, so I am familiar with the stress medical personal face, as well as issues related to trauma, death and dying.
