About
As a bi-racial woman who has experienced trauma and loss of loved ones, I am able to connect with those who are trying to rebuild themselves, and find joy in their everyday lives.
Hey, my name is Dr. Kayla Thorne! I have received my Doctorate in Human Services, Master of Social Work, and Bachelor of Arts in sociology. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025 and have provided therapy to children, adolescents, and teenagers since 2023 as a Supervisee in Social Work. I have also provided therapy to college-aged students and adults since 2025. I enjoy the wide variety of clients that I work with who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. I work with the clients to set goals for therapy and help them achieve those goals throughout the therapy timeframe.
I use a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach and have specialized training in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. I focus on active listening, cognitive restructuring, and assigning homework (as needed) between sessions to support continued growth.
Life can be challenging to navigate at times, especially when you feel anxious, stressed, or alone. I know it can be hard to find someone to trust to talk about your experiences when it seems impossible to deal with the life stressors. I'll be there to meet you where you are during those tough times, so feel free to book a session with me.

As a therapist, I will do all that I can to learn who you are and what you're looking for, and then help create truly meaningful change.
I specialize in working with people with ADHD and autism, as well as anyone looking for a space where they can feel genuinely heard. As your therapist, I will not be another voice telling you to push through and make things work when they just won't. I will show up as a kind, calm person who's ready to meet you where you are without judgement. I’ll take the time to get to know you, learn what matters to you, and work with you to create the change you're looking for. If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure about where to even begin, that's okay. We can figure it out together!
In our sessions, you’ll have space to talk openly about whatever is on your mind. I can offer structure, feedback, and practical guidance when that’s helpful, while also giving you room to slow down, sort through your thoughts and emotions, and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
You deserve a life that is authentic and feels like your own. If you’re thinking about starting therapy, feel free to reach out for a free consultation or initial appointment. We can talk, get to know each other a little, and see if working together feels like a good fit. I'm available to work virtually with anyone in VA.

Dee works with clients 18 to 99 years old. Her clients have presented with issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and relationship difficulties. Dee has also helped clients who have experienced fear or isolation caused by COVID-19. She understands that grief, loss, and bereavement do not only occur when someone dies, but also when a job is lost, or poor health occurs. Having been a hospice social worker, Dee has also counseled individuals and family members after a loved one has been given a terminal diagnosis.
Dee completed her Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) at the University of Texas at Arlington and her Master of Education (MEd) in Rehabilitation Counseling at Springfield College.

Other techniques used include mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation techniques. Dee is also an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider.
Using a conversational style, Dee collaborates with her clients, whether an individual, a couple, or family members, to identify areas of concern. Together, she and her client analyze what the perceived difficulties are and identify achievable goals. In a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, Dee encourages open communication to resolve conflicts from misunderstandings.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Imagine: You work from home full-time for a job you love. You have a great family, amazing friends, and you play recreational volleyball on the weekends. However, you’re having a hard time establishing a healthy work/life balance and you find it challenging to step away from work. When you hear a ding on your work computer, you feel compelled to check and see what’s going on. This puts a strain on your relationship with your partner.
Many people associate therapy and counseling with having a more serious challenge like battling depression or coping with the loss of a loved one. In reality, counseling can prove to be beneficial for those with less severe problems, too, like in the situation above. Online counseling is a useful and reliable tool to help you manage stresses, overcome difficult challenges, and better your overall well being.
Online counseling is a powerful tool and very easy to use. In fact, a lot of people are turning to online counseling instead of traditional in-person therapy because of how accessible it is. At Thriveworks Counseling in Harrisonburg, VA, we have a team of online counselors, therapists, psychologists, and life coaches who are readily available to help you achieve your goals and greater overall happiness. If there is something you are dealing with that’s heavy on your mind, consider working with one of our mental health professionals. To get started, simply give us a call.
We talk to our friends and family over the phone, we can meet with our doctors over video chat, and we can even attend meetings from our computers. So, why can’t we also get mental health help virtually? You can! Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Harrisonburg, VA, we offer our clients two convenient ways to talk to their counselors:
Both online counseling options prove to be very beneficial to our clients. Some clients prefer the face-to-face interaction that video counseling offers, while others prefer the telephone option and its flexibility. Regardless, both forms of online counseling are effective, easy, and reliable. Feel free to give both options a try if you’re going back and forth!
Have you ever found yourself rushing from the office to your counselor’s office and getting frustrated when traffic hits? Have you ever wished you could comfortably talk to your counselor from the comfort of your own home? Luckily, online counseling is a solution to these issues.
There are many great benefits to this form of therapy, including comfort, convenience, reliability, and ease. You won’t have to worry about unpredictable factors making you rush to get to your appointment on time. You can even talk to your counselor during your lunch breaks or on the way home from work.
