Hi, I'm Stefanie, and I'm so glad you're here! In my work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I value creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, empowering, and tailored to you! Through my experiences, education, and advanced fellowship training, I've gained insightful experience working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate trauma, life transitions, and challenges with anxiety and depression.

Using multiple approaches including EMDR, IFS (also known as Parts work), CBT, attachment and somatic-based interventions, we'll work together to better understand your unique experiences as we build meaningful pathways towards lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2.9 mi away • Charlottesville, VA


I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and relational pain through an attachment-based, experiential approach rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

My work is informed by attachment science and neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, emotionally attuned relationships. AEDP recognizes that when emotional pain is met with genuine connection, compassion, and support, the nervous system naturally moves toward healing, integration, and greater resilience.

Tierra Thomas

Tierra Thomas

Therapist

Virtual • Fredericksburg, VA


I’ve been working in the mental health field for nearly a decade and bring a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I hold a Master’s Degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Marshall University in Huntington, WV. These academic foundations, combined with years of hands-on experience, have shaped my compassionate, informed, and client-centered approach to therapy.

Most recently I was serving as a Licensed Clinical Therapist where I provided individual and group therapy in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. I am currently working at a small group practice treating adults with stress, anxiety, depression, ptsd, and more. I hold sessions on the weekend and in the morning one a week.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of authentic connection. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore difficult emotions, build insight, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Charlottesville, VA

Finding couples therapists in Charlottesville starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication breakdown, recurring conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list training in approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy. Reading a therapist’s bio can help you see whether their experience matches the kind of support you and your partner are seeking.

In a smaller city like Charlottesville, the local pool of couples therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still allowing you to choose in-person care when location and schedule align. Since couples therapy requires one therapist who works for both partners, compare practical details like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, session structure, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Some therapists also offer a brief initial consultation, which can help both partners assess fit before booking an ongoing session.

Couples therapy in Charlottesville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who offer couples counseling in Charlottesville, review detailed profiles, enter your insurance details for an upfront cost estimate, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
