Stress
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.

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.

Stress
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.

Stress
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults under chronic, high-functioning stress, professionals and scientists managing demanding careers who look capable on the outside while running on empty internally. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify what's driving your stress response and build practical, sustainable ways to manage it, rather than just pushing through. Many of my clients are also navigating career disruption, immigration, or the particular pressure of being a first-generation professional. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

11 Years Experience
Online in Arlington, VA Virginia (Online Only)
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. 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 Latinx population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
