Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
At Insights & Inspiration, LLC, I approach weight loss from a mindset and lifestyle perspective rather than short term dieting. I help clients explore emotional eating, self regulation, stress patterns, and thinking habits that influence long term health behaviors. Using cognitive behavioral strategies and practical tools, we focus on sustainable lifestyle change that supports both physical and emotional well being. Counseling is offered in person in Roanoke, Virginia, and virtually across Virginia.

12 Years Experience
Online in Richmond, VA
Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
