Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical growth. Therapy with me is a shared process focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity and confidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and a Socratic, meta-questioning style to help clients examine patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My work often supports people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with an emphasis on tools that can be applied in everyday life. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change.

Newport News is defined by its location at the heart of the Hampton Roads shipbuilding and military industrial complex — home to Newport News Shipbuilding (now HII), one of the country's largest and most strategically significant defense contractors — creating a therapy community serving a large workforce navigating the psychological pressures of national security-adjacent industrial work alongside the region's substantial military population. The city has a large African American population with deep community roots in the Peninsula, and culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma, community resilience, and the particular dynamics of working-class Black life in Hampton Roads are an important part of the local landscape. Riverside Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Newport News shares the Hampton Roads mental health ecosystem with Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Hampton, and residents often access care across the region.
