Getting to know Nora Vassar

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia, currently providing video psychotherapy sessions. My patients are older teens and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and family issues, poor self-image, and academic and professional stressors. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, where I focused on the impact substance abuse and mental health challenges have on the individual across the life span. My approach I approach psychotherapy holistically, integrating models such as Internal Family Systems Theory and Trauma Theory. My theoretical preferences are cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused treatment, and interpersonal therapy. I like to focus on pragmatic, strengths-based, and solution-focused interventions that will allow me to work collaboratively with clients to develop and support their own personal goals and journey of healing. My focus I envision therapy as a partnership that is based on mutual respect and honesty. Therapeutic goals are based on the individual's goals for self. My therapeutic approach is one that encompasses authenticity, compassion, knowledge, and trust. I believe that each of these values is vital to building a strong therapeutic relationship so that we can create an empathic and non-judgmental path towards genuine healing. My communication style I believe in open communication where both individuals have the autonomy to express their thoughts and feelings. I believe that candid and productive discussions are key to the healing process. Since my approach is person-centered, focusing on the individual as the expert in their lived experience, I rely on authenticity and the willingness to be open to ensure the relationship remains therapeutic and goal-oriented.
