What is your go-to approach for family therapy?

George Wanke
George Wanke

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

I focus on family interactions and behavior plan development in family therapy. I particularly enjoy developing behavior plans, as all family members have a role to play.

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

George Wanke
George Wanke

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

EBP TP goals are established at the beginning of therapy, and when they are accomplished, the treatment is considered done. Common goals include less frequent arguing, identifying upcoming conflicts, using time-outs, enjoying each other's company, rekindling courtship and pursuit, and conflict resolution.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

Dee Jacobi Edwards
Dee Jacobi Edwards

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can write down what you feel, when you feel it, how long it lasts, and how you address it. This way, you can let me know what you are bothered by, what happened before and after, and how you dealt with it.

My therapist, Beatrice is so wonderful. It's almost like talking to a good friend, I respect her she's a fantastic listener to the point where she remember everybody's name in the conversation and I just can't believe I found such a highly professional therapist. I recommend everyone if they're looking for therapist to look into having Beatrice your therapist.

What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?

Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?

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

  • Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
  • 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.

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.
