Getting to know Desiree Turner

You’ve been feeling off—tense, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself. Maybe you’re carrying more worry or sadness than you talk about, or it’s getting harder to focus, sleep, or feel joy in day to day life. You’ve been holding it together for a long time, and it’s starting to feel heavy. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I help adults move through anxiety, depression, burnout, and major life transitions so they can feel more calm, clear, and confident again. Together, we’ll build tools to manage racing thoughts, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect to motivation and meaning—without judgment or pressure. I bring advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback, mindfulness-based approaches, and yoga-informed mind-body work. With HRV biofeedback, you can actually see your nervous system shift in real time, reinforcing the progress you’re making. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create sustainable emotional and mental resilience. In-person therapy in Richmond, VA. Virtual therapy across Virginia, Washington, DC, & Alaska.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I integrate CBT, mindfulness, and heart rate variability biofeedback to help you understand and regulate your nervous system. With training in yoga and a fitness background, I see the body as essential to healing—often the key to insight and change the mind alone can’t access.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Your first session is about understanding you—what you’re experiencing, what matters most to you, and what you want to change or strengthen. We’ll talk about your goals and any challenges that might be getting in the way, so we can create a plan that supports both your mind and body. Sessions are a blend of conversation and practical tools. You might learn strategies for calming your nervous system, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, or improving focus and resilience. We may also integrate mindfulness, breathing techniques, or mind-body practices to help you feel more grounded and in control. Therapy is an active, collaborative process. Each session gives you space to slow down, gain clarity, and practice skills you can carry into your daily life—whether your goal is reducing stress, improving performance, or creating more balance.
