Hi, my name is Chloe` Cook. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I specialize in relationship issues, but also provide therapy to individuals seeking help with managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am also continuing my education through training in sex therapy topics to help individuals and couples with orgasm difficulties, unmatched/low desire, performance/sexual anxiety, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation issues, and sexual empathy.
I have my Master of Social Work from New York University and have worked in Social Services and Behavioral Healthcare for more than 26 years between New York City and Philadelphia. I offer individual therapy to support my clients in their work to live their best lives, whatever that means to them. I have experience working in inpatient psychiatry and outpatient counseling.
Hello,
My name is Cheryl Simms Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Substance Abuse Practitioner. I am thrilled to have you here! I am all about embracing self care transforming into the best version of yourself. Get ready to shine.
Hello, thank you for making your mental health a priority! I look forward to working with you on your journey to healing, self-preservation and empowerment. Together we can!
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.

Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of talking in circles—and they want real change, not just support. That’s where my work is different.
I am a solution-focused, no-nonsense therapist who believes therapy should be both compassionate and effective. My style is warm, grounded, and direct. I help clients quickly identify what’s truly driving their stress or dissatisfaction, calm emotional overwhelm, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both deeply supportive and refreshingly honest—offering perspective, guidance, and direction while maintaining a safe, respectful space.
Personally, I have a lot of life experience and a naturally positive perspective that helps guide my work and intentional focus. I am a mother of five, married with a blended family, step mother of two, grandmother, an equestrian, boater and aviator.
Educationally, I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida State University in 1991 and Licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in 1994. I have worked in Sports Broadcadting and Marketing, Medical Device Sales, Business and Behavioral Health. I have certifications in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, Executive Leadership, and Hypnotherapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Virginia
Searching for therapists in Virginia starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Virginia has a wide mix of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options can vary by location. You may want support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Virginia therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Practical fit matters, too. Whether you are looking for therapy in Virginia Beach, Richmond, Northern Virginia, or a smaller community, consider whether in-person or virtual care works better for your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and scheduling options in one place.
The cost of mental health care in Virginia varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from appointments that fit your schedule. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists in Virginia, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you are ready.
