Yes. In addition to in-person therapy, Seasons Counseling provides secure telehealth therapy for clients anywhere in Virginia. Virtual therapy can be a convenient and effective option for busy families, teens, and adults.

What is therapy like for children?

Therapy for children often looks different than therapy for adults. Child therapists at Seasons Counseling use play therapy techniques, art, and age-appropriate activities to help children express emotions, build coping skills, and feel understood.

Parents and caregivers are often involved as part of the therapeutic process.

What is therapy like for teens?

Teen therapy provides a supportive and confidential space for adolescents to explore emotions, stress, relationships, school challenges, and life transitions. Therapists work to build trust with teens while collaborating with parents or caregivers when appropriate.

What happens in the first therapy session?

The first therapy session is an opportunity to get to know your therapist and talk about what brings you to therapy. You’ll discuss concerns, personal history, goals, and any questions you have about the therapy process.

For children and families, this may include time with caregivers. There is no pressure to share everything at once — therapy moves at your pace.

How does Seasons Counseling match clients with a therapist?

Seasons Counseling thoughtfully matches clients with therapists based on age, concerns, therapy goals, availability, insurance coverage, and preferred location. We also consider whether in-person therapy in Culpeper, Charlottesville, Warrenton, or Locust Grove — or virtual therapy anywhere in Virginia — is the best fit.

How do I know if therapy is right for me or my child?

Therapy can be helpful if you or your child are experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, behavioral challenges, relationship difficulties, or stress related to life changes.

Many people seek therapy not because they are in crisis, but because they want support, understanding, or healthier ways to cope. If something is affecting daily life, your child’s behavior, or your family’s well-being, therapy is a meaningful place to start.

How soon can I start therapy?

Availability varies by therapist, location, and insurance. Our administrative team works to schedule new clients as quickly as possible and will help find the earliest available option at one of our Virginia locations or through virtual therapy.
