Preston Page, LCSW

Preston Page is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He draws on straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people move toward the life they want.

He has worked in private practice, community mental health clinics, inpatient mental health, and substance abuse settings. That variety means he is familiar with different kinds of challenges and treatment rhythms. He also has long experience supporting people with addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles.

Preston uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions. He aims to keep things grounded and relevant, using exercises and talk to test what helps in daily life. He also incorporates existential questions when people want to explore meaning and purpose.

His background includes military service in the US Army and National Guard, with many years working with active duty soldiers and airmen. That time in multiple settings informs how he listens for practical concerns and life-stage issues. He describes a personal connection to the natural world and presents himself with an easy, approachable manner.

Preston lives in Virginia. He works with people on a wide range of concerns including identity and sexuality, chronic illness and pain, aging issues, and intimacy-related matters. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients, with scheduling arranged through the therapist matching process.

Approaches That Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it often uses short exercises and practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match methods to each person's needs and pace.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try visual or audio conversation depending on their comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals will work with clients to set a rhythm that fits day-to-day responsibilities and therapeutic aims.
