About Preston

Preston Page is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating issues, addiction, grief, trauma and other life changes. He also supports people facing career strain, sleep problems, anger, and questions about identity and sexual culture.

Preston draws on straightforward, practical approaches. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift habits. He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to clarify values and strengthen everyday choices.

His background includes private practice, community mental health clinics, and inpatient settings for mental health and substance use. He served in the US Army on active duty and in the National Guard and worked as a Military Family Life Consultant supporting active duty service members. That experience informs his work with stress, loss, and life transitions.

Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. That can include short behavioral experiments, skills practice for sleep or mood, and values-based goal setting. Conversations are practical and aim to reduce day-to-day interference from anxiety, depression, or habits that cause problems.

Preston lives in Virginia and has worked with people across different life stages. He mentions a personal connection to the natural world and family life, noting he is married with children and grandchildren. He accepts international clients and works in English.

How his approaches translate to online work

Preston commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems, or mood struggles. ACT focuses on connecting to what matters and taking small actions that align with personal values while accepting uncomfortable feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what works in daily life, then adjust techniques so sessions fit the person's needs. That may mean more skills practice, values work, or problem-solving depending on the concern.

The biography does not specify which online formats he offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can help someone try behavioral experiments, track sleep or mood, and practice skills between sessions without rearranging a full day.
