01About Gretchen
Gretchen Blevins is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports individuals dealing with attention and concentration concerns often described as ADHD. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, with an emphasis on listening first and tailoring the plan to each person.
Gretchen draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her work when past harm is involved and when healing requires careful pacing. She aims to meet people where they are and adapt conversations to what feels useful in the moment.
Sessions focus on concrete strategies for coping with overwhelming feelings, improving sleep and focus, strengthening communication, and working through relationship changes like divorce or separation. Gretchen also addresses body image, self-love, and feelings of isolation. With 11 years of professional experience, she brings steady support and practical tools rather than quick fixes.
Her style is compassionate and direct; she will help set clear goals and revisit them as needed. Taking a first step can feel hard. Gretchen emphasizes collaboration and slow progress so people can build sustainable changes at a manageable pace.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Gretchen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening-focused space where people set the pace and topics. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect, helping clients feel understood before they try new skills. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that reduce focus or increase impulsivity. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as needs change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Confirm the session formats with the therapist before booking since specific options were not listed in the biography. Once formats are confirmed, online work can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and let people join from a familiar setting. It also supports continuing care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to fit practical needs while focusing on real-world strategies that translate into everyday life.05Questions people ask
