Find a licensed online therapist in Cartersville, VA

Hi! Welcome to my profile page. Whatever you are facing, you have exhibited bravery by taking this step. Try out some counselors, like you are shopping for something important - because you ARE. There are many kinds of counselors. I'm the kind who listens and laughs and will challenge you (with your permission). If you aren't prepared for a little challenge to your thinking, you aren't engaged in our counseling process. Paying for someone to say you're right 100% of the time may feel good in the moment, but there is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone. Here's a little about me: I received a Ph.D. in Counseling in 2001 and am licensed as a professional counselor. I teach also and work with lots of issues and age groups. Helping people develop is my passion. First, you will identify what you think is your core issue and goal. For some, it stems from confidence issues, anxiety, fear of failure, difficulties communicating in personal or professional relationships, or dealing with conflict. I have worked with people on how to get unstuck in lots of ways. Despite my background in Crisis, this platform and my association with it, is not appropriate for emergencies regarding a desire to harm self or others or in cases of psychosis that require formal evaluations in an Emergency Room. It is my ethical and professional responsibility to refer clients to appropriate resources (911) in their locality in these instances. Otherwise, we can get to work. My goal is to assist you as you grow the skills and insight to move forward and see results. There will be work involved, new ways of thinking, new behaviors and maybe, new decisions. When and if you are ready for this, I hope you will reach out. Abrina

I am a clinically trained social worker with more than 40 years of experience. My treatment specialties include depression, anxiety, and grief counseling. I assist with the resolution of work-related concerns. I am also a trained life coach, helping people make decisions related to changes they would like to have in their lives while achieving work/life balance. I also provide behavior modification, problem-solving, and motivation therapy. I work with couples of all kinds, knowing that being a couple or family cannot be defined only in the traditional sense. I take a broad view in this area. The basis for my efforts is insight therapy. I encourage those who work with me to consider how their decisions and actions enhance or impair the attainment of their goals. This type of understanding is critical for making meaningful life changes. My work is for and about you! We will go as far and as fast as you are able. Although I offer clarity in recognizing the issues that concern you, I will never take you where you do not want to go. Our work will be free of judgment, allowing you to speak and respond openly. I will always respect you and value what you share with me. You have made the right decision by embarking on a therapeutic relationship. I hope you choose me to help guide you on that journey.

Hello. My name is Suzanna Bagley. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (license number: 180.009943) in the state of Illinois. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia (license number: 0701015857). I started working a therapist in January 2013. I would like to commend you for taking the steps to get yourself the support you seek. It’s not easy to ask for help. Furthermore, it can be hard to get started when you’re not sure what to expect of the therapeutic process. I typically endeavor to meet my clients wherever they’re at to help put them at ease and help them fulfill their therapeutic goals. I would describe myself as easygoing by nature who sometimes uses humor and positivity to lighten the mood whenever it’s appropriate. If I feel it’s therapeutically relevant, I can be direct to help unpack or process whatever you’re working on. Even when discussing tough topics, I am never critical or judgmental. I work to ensure my clients feel heard and validated. Think of me as your sidekick on your journey toward mental health wellness! Here is a little more information about my educational background and therapeutic practice. I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in clinical psychology. Depending on my clients’ needs, I utilize the following the theoretical orientations: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy works best for clients who aren’t able to spend much time in therapy and want to find a solution or resolution to any problem they may present in therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy whenever a client’s negative and/or unrealistic thoughts make them anxious and/or affect their mood. I utilize the Trauma-Informed Therapy to anyone who has experienced any sort of long-term trauma. It entails exploring individual triggers; as well as finding the right approach to help the client manage their emotions and move forward in life. For the sake of simplicity, I kept the therapeutic explanations basic but I would be happy to further explain each therapeutic modality via message or in session. If you feel I would be a good fit, I would be honored to work alongside you on your therapeutic journey.

I have 30 years experience as a counselor. I have worked in many different environments including, private practice, local mental health clinics, inpatient mental health and substance abuse clinics. I work with people to help them be the person they are and become the person they want to be. I am a real bearded Santa but am not religious.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with more than a decade of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting concerns, career challenges, ADHD, OCD, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is more than simply reducing symptoms. It can be part of life’s great work: learning who you are, understanding the patterns that shape you, and choosing how you want to live. Difficult seasons often invite us to examine what matters, release what no longer serves us, and move toward a life grounded in greater clarity, meaning, and integrity. My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard, while also asking thoughtful questions and respectfully challenging beliefs or patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we will explore both the practical realities of your situation and the deeper themes beneath them—identity, purpose, responsibility, connection, choice, and personal growth. My approach incorporates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness-based, narrative, attachment-based, solution-focused, and trauma-informed perspectives. When meaningful to you, our work may also draw upon spiritual and philosophical principles such as interconnectedness, intentional living, cause and effect, acceptance, and alignment between your values and actions. This is not about imposing a particular belief system; it is about making room for the sources of wisdom, meaning, and purpose that resonate with you. Seeking help takes courage. If you are ready to begin—or simply ready to become curious about what could change—I would be honored to walk alongside you. I look forward to working with you. Specialties and areas of focus My primary areas of focus include: Stress, anxiety, panic, and feeling overwhelmed Trauma, emotional abuse, and difficult past experiences Family conflict, relationship concerns, and communication difficulties Parenting, fatherhood, and blended-family challenges Major life changes, identity transitions, and uncertainty Motivation, procrastination, confidence, and self-esteem Anger, emotional regulation, and reactive behavior ADHD, concentration, memory, and focus Grief, loss, loneliness, and emotional disconnection Career difficulties, workplace stress, and burnout Attachment, abandonment, codependency, and boundary concerns Intimacy, trust, infidelity, separation, and divorce Men’s issues, young-adult concerns, and midlife transitions Life purpose, personal values, and spiritual growth Guilt, shame, forgiveness, self-compassion, and self-love Obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and OCD Depression, mood difficulties, and feelings of emptiness LGBTQ+ concerns, sexuality, and authentic self-expression I especially enjoy helping people understand recurring patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and translate insight into meaningful action. Our work can address immediate concerns while also exploring the larger question: What is this chapter of your life asking you to learn, change, or become? Clinical approach My clinical approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. I draw from: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior Client-Centered and humanistic therapy to support authenticity, dignity, and self-directed growth Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships influence present-day connection Mindfulness-based approaches to strengthen awareness, acceptance, and emotional regulation Narrative Therapy to examine the stories you carry and create space for a more empowering narrative Trauma-informed care to promote safety, choice, trust, and sensitivity to past experiences Solution-focused strategies to identify strengths and translate goals into achievable steps I also welcome spiritually integrated work when it fits the client’s beliefs and preferences. This may involve exploring meaning, purpose, personal responsibility, interconnectedness, inner wisdom, or the relationship between intention and action. Spirituality can be approached through a religious tradition, personal philosophy, connection with nature or humanity, or a simple desire to live with greater awareness and purpose. Therapy with me is both reflective and practical. We may explore where a pattern began, what continues to reinforce it, and what it is protecting you from. We will also identify concrete skills, experiments, and next steps that help you practice change outside the therapy room. The goal is not perfection—it is greater awareness, freedom of choice, and alignment with the person you are becoming.
