Anthem Therapists in Potomac West, Alexandria, VA
I am a licensed professional counselor based in Virginia. My therapeutic approach centers on guiding my clients to find meaning, purpose, and inner strength by embracing the beauty and imperfections of their lived experiences, rather than avoiding them. Life's challenges, like grief, loss, trauma, depression, or anxiety, can often leave us feeling trapped in an unchanging reality. In such moments, Viktor Frankl’s words serve as a profound reminder: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

Hello there, I am Diana Stone LPC licensed in the state of Virginia. I have a wide variety of approaches to therapy depending on what the issues we are dealing with, the best practice for that particular issue, and often my approach would be considered eclectic, i.e someone dealing with addiction might benefit from cognitive behavioral approaches while also responding to expressive arts, such as visual arts, drawing, painting, music, and journaling. I would use both approaches if that's what is called for.
