About Gretchen
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 11 years of experience. Gretchen Blevins focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. She works primarily in English and helps people address body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.
Gretchen uses client-centered methods to build a working relationship that centers the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns of behavior. When trauma is present she integrates trauma-focused approaches to help people process painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.
In sessions she listens for what is most pressing and looks for concrete next steps. Conversations may include noticing patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small goals to test changes between meetings. She pays attention to focus and memory concerns that can come with ADHD and adapts pacing and strategies accordingly.
Gretchen views the work as collaborative. She helps people choose interventions that fit their daily life and priorities. The subscription-based payment model used for sessions can be canceled at any time and fees vary with location.
To get started a person selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person clarify what matters most and which changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and small experiments to shift thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to process traumatic events and reduce their ongoing emotional effects through paced, evidence-informed methods.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gretchen will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and collaborate to select or combine methods that fit. That process can change over time as goals evolve and progress is assessed.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from a quieter place or avoid being on camera if that helps. The therapist will discuss what format makes sense for the person's schedule and goals.
