Dawn Banks, MS, Resident in Counseling (LPC Resident) provides online therapy in Virginia (telehealth counseling) for adults seeking support with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and substance use. Dawn offers a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or ready to build healthier coping strategies and long-term change.

Dawn uses CBT therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT skills (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help clients strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, reduce anxious thoughts, and manage mood symptoms. Sessions are collaborative and practical—focused on both understanding what you’re experiencing and building tools you can use between sessions.

She is also pursuing a Doctorate in Human Services, reflecting a strong commitment to continued learning and professional growth. If you’re looking for a Virginia telehealth therapist who is compassionate, structured, and skills-based, Dawn welcomes you to start where you are.
