Getting to know Dr. Virginia Pierce
I’m a licensed therapist with Empower Psychotherapy who works with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, panic disorders, depression, mood disorders, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.. My approach to mental health telehealth is warm, person-centered, and tailored to your unique needs.
Through evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, and—when desired—faith-based perspectives, I support clients in cultivating resilience and clarity. Whether you're seeking support through telehealth therapy or looking for a compassionate online therapist, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered.
Together, we’ll work toward uncovering your strengths, restoring balance, and moving forward with hope and confidence. I’m honored to walk this journey with you through accessible, inclusive mental health services online.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe that a strong, trusting relationship is the cornerstone of effective therapy. From our first online therapy session, I focus on building a therapeutic alliance that helps you feel safe, heard, and understood. As part of my telehealth counseling approach, I offer practical tools such as relaxation techniques, grounding exercises, guided imagery, and strategies to identify and reframe automatic thoughts using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My goal is to ensure that you not only feel supported, but also empowered with skills you can apply in your daily life.
For clients seeking alternatives to CBT, I offer Person-Centered Experiential Approaches to Therapy (PCEAT), which emphasize self-discovery and personal growth in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. I also honor the role of spirituality in healing, integrating faith-based therapy for those who draw strength from their religious or spiritual practices.
Every individual’s journey is unique. I’m committed to tailoring our work together to reflect your needs, preferences, and values. Together, we’ll find the approach that resonates with you and supports your goals for growth and healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I start by building a strong therapeutic alliance, ensuring that trust and connection are at the foundation of our work together. As part of my telehealth counseling approach, I introduce practical techniques such as relaxation exercises, grounding strategies, guided imagery, and identifying automatic thoughts using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). From the very beginning, I help clients engage with CBT in a way that feels approachable, empowering, and relevant to their daily lives.
If CBT isn’t the right fit, I offer Person-Centered Experiential Approaches to Therapy (PCEAT), which create a safe, supportive space for exploration and growth. I also recognize the importance of spirituality in the healing process. For clients who are religious or spiritually inclined, I’m happy to incorporate faith-based therapy perspectives, aligning our work with their beliefs and values.
My approach to mental health services online is flexible, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s preferences and needs. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, or personal growth, I’m here to help you find what works best for you through inclusive and accessible telehealth therapy.
