Brandee Parker, LCSW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Brandee!

I base my practice on a strengths-based approach, helping my clients learn tools to manage many diagnoses. I specialize in therapy for children and families, as well as anxiety, depression, and concerns with low self-esteem.

My focus

I typically treat children ages 9-18 and adults. I have experience in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and PTSD.

My approach

I use a strengths-based approach, and my primary theoretical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Most of my treatment is based on play therapy modalities.

My communication style

It is always my goal to create a warm, safe, and judgment-free therapeutic space for my clients to feel comfortable sharing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a passion for helping others, and after transitioning away from HIV prevention education, therapy was the logical next step. I love working with children because, often, their voices are overlooked. Providing therapy to children allows me to help their voices be heard and remind them that they matter.

My goals for you

I let my clients lead the goal-setting process, so they know that they are in control of their therapeutic journey.

Our first session

During the first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and building rapport.
