If you searched for counseling harrisonburg va, you're looking for someone to help you work through what's been hard. Dr. Audie Gaddis, PhD provides counseling services across Virginia via secure telehealth.

When counseling helps

Most people seek counseling when they've been struggling for a while. Maybe you've tried managing on your own but it's not getting better. Maybe you're stuck in patterns you can't break. Maybe you just need outside perspective on a difficult situation.

Counseling gives you space to work through problems with someone trained to help.

What you can work on

• Emotional struggles. Anxiety, depression, stress, anger.
• Relationship issues. Communication, conflict, disconnection.
• Life changes. Loss, transitions, major decisions.
• Personal growth. Self-esteem, boundaries, life direction.

How it works

Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly at first. We start by understanding what's going on and what you want to change. Then we work on specific skills and strategies you can use in real life.

Progress gets reviewed regularly so we can adjust what's not working.

What makes it effective

Good counseling is collaborative. You're not passive—you're actively learning and practicing new approaches. Between sessions, you apply what you've learned and see what changes.

Common questions

What's the difference between counseling and therapy?
