I’m Ashinna Cole, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing virtual therapy to individuals experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, and performance anxiety. I’m passionate about helping people who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from experiences that have shaped them, and actively work toward meaningful change.
As a LPC, I know that the client is the expert in their own life, and this truth guides the work we do together. I earned my BA from Lycoming College and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Rider University. My theoretical framework is Person Centered/Solution Focused/CBT via talk therapy. My specialties include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, career challenges, relationship issues, grief, family challenges, and illness.
I have been working in the mental health field for four years and have experience supporting clients ages 5–60. I graduated from Regent University in 2021 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For clients who prefer a faith-based approach, I also integrate Christian principles into therapy sessions.
I believe the most effective care comes from a strong, collaborative partnership. I approach each person as more than a diagnosis, and I value honesty, accountability, and mutual respect in the work we do together. Change is possible—I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’m here to support you in becoming the version of yourself you want to be. My background includes both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nursing from Walsh University, and I bring that clinical foundation into thoughtful, individualized care.
I am a direct, solution- oriented mental health therapist with over 30 years helping people navigate mental health challenges
Something keeps getting in the way - focus, old wounds, stress you can't quite name. I'm Michael, a Virginia LPC who works with adults around ADHD, trauma, and the weight men often carry without much support. Therapy with me is grounded, solution-oriented, and built for real change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach
Searching for therapists in Virginia Beach starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A profile that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling can help you understand what sessions may focus on before you book.
Virginia Beach has therapy options across a range of neighborhoods, from the Oceanfront and Town Center to Kempsville and Great Neck. Your search may include therapists with nearby offices, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Consider practical details like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Virginia Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who may accept a range of insurance plans, may be accepting new clients, and can show upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
