Hear from our clinicians

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement child therapy?

Emma Dowman
Emma Dowman

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Clients can supplement their time in child therapy by parents reinforcing skills learned in therapy and by practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling?

Kimberly Green
Kimberly Green

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

I know when a couple is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when they are able to practice and display the tools that are being taught during the sessions, including implementing the fair fighting rules, showing appreciation, and exhibiting effective communication skills. I will also ask my couples to evaluate their progress in and out of the sessions. After ongoing counseling sessions, most report they are proud and happy with their progress.

What tools do you teach in depression counseling?

Krystin McAdams
Krystin McAdams

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

I teach the following tools in depression counseling: radical acceptance, discussing what activities increase a positive mood and/or contribute to a low mood, mindfulness (being in the present moment), and values (what makes life meaningful for you).

What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

Pennie Hurta
Pennie Hurta

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy, besides being nonjudgemental and accepting, is sharing a free online curriculum with them where they can access tools such as videos and worksheets to master DBT skills. I find giving people the opportunity to learn skills at their own pace and practice skills in between sessions using a workbook or website is very beneficial to help clients learn how to implement the skill sets and feel comfortable doing so.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

Emma Dowman
Emma Dowman

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

To prepare for your first cognitive behavioral therapy session, you can reflect on what you hope to gain from therapy, think about what specific goals or challenges you want to address, and approach the session with an open mind and a willingness to be honest and authentic.

Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being.

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Newport News, we offer:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
  • Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.

When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

Schedule a Session with Thriveworks Counseling in Newport News, VA

People in a wide range of situations put off getting help for months, years, or even decades. They often think they don’t have the time required to work with a counselor.

We’re uniquely suited to help you with all your issues. We offer personalized care, tailored to best assist you in overcoming the challenges in your life.
