Monique Preston, LCSW

Psychotherapist
VA
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences. I believe that healing begins with understanding, and together we will work toward building insight, resilience, and practical strategies for change. My approach I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life transitions, I am here to walk alongside you at a pace that feels right. My focus I work with adults who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions—especially those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but carrying a heavy emotional load inside. Some are veterans or first responders managing PTSD, while others are professionals, parents, or caregivers trying to balance responsibilities while coping with stress, loss, or relationship challenges. My communication style In our sessions, you’ll find a safe and steady space to slow down, breathe, and unpack the thoughts and feelings you may have been holding for too long. Using approaches such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT, we’ll work together to process difficult experiences, manage symptoms, and build coping tools that feel realistic and empowering for your life. My goals for you Whether your goal is to heal from the past, navigate a current challenge, or rediscover your sense of self, I am here to walk with you—helping you move toward a life that feels calmer, more connected, and more in your control.
