Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my therapy sessions addressing stress, I often integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop mindfulness skills and accept their emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations related to stress. Additionally, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to assist clients in identifying and challenging maladaptive thought patterns contributing to their stress, promoting healthier coping strategies and problem-solving skills. Drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy principles, I collaborate with clients to set specific, achievable goals and explore practical solutions to reduce stressors and enhance their overall well-being.

Tiffany Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCMHC, NCC, CCMHC
I work with individuals on managing stress through identifying the aspects of life that are controllable, the things that are not, and ways to work with the physical aspects of stress and how the body affects the mind and vice versa. We will work together on helping you identify how stress impacts your functioning, your life, and your health and help you feel more grounded and relaxed.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
In my therapy sessions, I often incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help individuals manage stress by fostering acceptance of difficult emotions while guiding them towards actions aligned with their values. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I assist clients in identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their stress, empowering them to develop healthier coping strategies. Additionally, I integrate culturally sensitive, person-centered, and relational approaches to acknowledge the unique cultural contexts and interpersonal dynamics that impact each client's experience of stress, facilitating a comprehensive and effective therapeutic process.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Those who suffer from chronic stress work can benefit greatly from my hypnotic programming and supportive frameworks like NLP, breathwork, EMT, regression, tapping, and others. We will reset the nervous system and hardwire in commands that signal a return to safety. The tools used can be turned to in triggering moments so you can restore emotionally within minutes. I train you in a technique you can do if you wake up to dread so we quickly alter your chemical makeup to an elevated state and a sense of hopefulness is restored. I also give you a tool that can be called on during times of feeling overwhelmed and overextended, so you can find clarity and a sense of calm to move forward, unimpeded. We explore beliefs and emotions associated with the stress you are experiencing, while identifying areas in life we can remove stress from realistically, and may find the root cause within a regression, where once the old emotions are finally released, we can begin wiring in the new ways of being that all support the goal of inner peace, calm, and effortless ease.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have been struggling with stress in various aspects of their lives. This may be stress at work or school, in their social lives or significant relationships, or with decisions they need to make. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Arlington is home to the Pentagon and a concentration of federal government, defense contracting, and intelligence community workers that gives it a distinctive therapy clientele — people who often cannot openly discuss their work, carry significant stress related to security clearances, and navigate the psychological weight of careers lived at the intersection of policy and national security. The county is one of the most educated and affluent in the United States, with a population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and financially able to engage in longer-term work. VHC Health (formerly Virginia Hospital Center) and the broader Northern Virginia healthcare ecosystem provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most established private practice communities in the Washington DC metro area. Arlington's large Latino population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
