Counselor Online throughout Virginia
Denise Simpson (she/her)
My Treatment Philosophy:
When one seeks out therapy, I believe they are saying that they want a change. Sometimes we need someone to listen and ask questions so that the processing of thoughts and feelings can be done in a nonjudgmental way. The answers come from within and I am just a guide along the healing journey.
Who I Work With:
Women, Women of Color Issues to include Race-based Trauma, and Teens / Young Adults
What Therapy Looks Like In My Office:
I provide virtual therapy. My desire is for my client to be in a comfortable setting, free of disruption so a therapy session can take place.
Why I Became A Counselor:
I became a therapist because I love to help people move from “Point A to Point B.” I believe that people have the answers within themselves and my job is to ask thought provoking questions and listen for strengths and times that someone has overcome challenges, reminding them that they can continue to overcome obstacles that are impacting their life.
My Treatment Theories and Approaches:
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Practice, and I am always coming from a person- centered approach as well as trauma informed
My Certifications and Trainings:
CBT, DBT, Grief, Narrative Practice, Trauma Informed
MY LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK
Personal Life:
I like to spend time with my two pups “Heart and Soul.” I also enjoy time with my daughter. I love music, Netflix, and reading. I also enjoy spending time with my family in the Outer Banks.
My Favorite Movie or Song:
“The Sound of Music” and favorite song is “Man in the Mirror”
If I weren’t a Counselor I’d be (and why):
To be honest, I cannot think of another profession that I would be. I feel like it is my calling to help people to the best of my ability. I love to see people thrive and do well in life.

Seth Labovitz (he/him)
Psychotherapy is a kind of help in which the patient or client engages with a professional trained in the science and art of understanding and alleviating human suffering. As a Psychologist and psychotherapist, I stand in the belief that I don’t do anything “to” but rather “with” and “for” others – good therapy is collaborative - and that one must avoid a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

LaSaun Dozier (she/her)
I believe one of the most powerful tools we have in life is our voice. When we are silenced and not allowed the opportunity to express ourselves it can result in depression and anxiety. Over time it will impair our self-efficacy and value...

Brittany Flora (she/her)
My role is to be side-by-side with you navigating these complex emotions and situations so that you can find the power in your voice, your body, and your strengths. My goal as a counselor is to create a positive, and reassuring environment where you can be you with all the quirks that uniquely make you – you. I believe that you are the expert of your experience, you have the answers inside of you, and we are together on this journey to unlock what is getting in your way. It is my hope to help you find strategies to interrupt patterns that are no longer serving you and create healthier paths to allow you to “be the change you wish to see.” If you choose to let me be a part of this journey with you, it will be an honor because I recognize it is hard to trust again when there have been letdowns.

Mary Davies (she/her)
I believe in the therapeutic process and consider it to consist of many forms. Each person is so unique and has their own story to tell in their own unique way and in their own time. The one thing I say to my clients in every first session, is, it starts with you. You choosing to show up to your appointment, you choosing to seek out support, encouragement, advice, a listening ear.
