Jessica Rizk, Healing Hearts VA LLC (She/Her)
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
In-Person in Sterling, VA 20166
At Healing Hearts VA, our work is centered around helping individuals better understand themselves within the context of their relationships. We specialize in supporting clients who struggle with overthinking, people pleasing, and anxiety in relationships, especially those who find themselves stuck in patterns they do not fully understand but deeply want to change.
We believe that many of these struggles are not random, but are rooted in meaningful experiences, attachment patterns, and learned ways of coping that once served a purpose. Our approach is grounded in helping clients slow down, gain insight into these patterns, and begin responding to themselves and others in more intentional, self respecting ways.
Our goal is not to change who our clients are, but to help them feel more secure, confident, and grounded in themselves. We support clients in learning how to set boundaries without guilt, communicate their needs more clearly, and experience relationships without constant anxiety or self doubt.
We strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and non judgmental, where clients do not have to filter themselves or worry about being misunderstood. For those who are interested, we also offer the option to integrate faith into the therapeutic process in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
At the core of our work is the belief that lasting change happens through both insight and practical steps. We are committed to helping our clients not only understand their patterns, but also build the tools needed to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
