Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Fredericksburg, VA

As a licensed clinical social worker, I understand the importance of providing exceptional care that is both compassionate and empathetic. I am currently licensed in North Carolina and Virginia. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

During my academic years, I worked as an assistant to the court psychologist at the Department of Juvenile Justice in Charlotte, NC. I had the opportunity to assist with juvenile court reports and attend court hearings for youth offenders. I also worked alongside mental health professionals mentoring underserved youth in underrepresented areas of Mecklenburg County. Following my undergraduate degree, I gained extensive experience in various pediatric behavioral health settings, providing therapeutic interventions and community-based rehabilitative services. I have over 12 years experience providing mental health assistance and treatment to our military population and their family members, who have been impacted by domestic violence, child abuse, child neglect, anxiety, depression, PTSD, conflict, anger, relationship distress, and adjustment issues. In addition to therapy, I have experience working in federal behavior health policy and research.

I believe therapy should be a safe space where individuals can openly and honestly discuss most aspects of life to enhance their mental wellbeing. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, and I work closely with each individual and couple to identify their unique needs and establish the best therapeutic approach. Despite my training in various modalities focused on grief, couples, anger, and trauma, I prefer to use cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy techniques in my work with couples and individuals.

All you want is to quiet that voice that says you’re not “doing enough" or stop overthinking long enough to actually enjoy your life. You’re used to managing a lot, like school, work, relationships, or the many changes of motherhood. And even when things look good on the outside, it’s hard to shake the feeling of anxiety; if you relax, you'll start falling behind.

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Dee Keller, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and board-approved supervisor in Virginia with over 12 years of experience helping women and young adults navigate anxiety, perfectionism, and big life changes.

Many of the women I work with are juggling so many plates, and while there is a lot that you can feel grateful for... it's exhausting and overwhelming, and very common to feel incredible doubt you aren't doing enough.

My work focuses on helping you feel seen and supported while finding ways to release the inner critic and anxiety. Whether you’re entering a new chapter (starting college, changing jobs, becoming a parent, or redefining your identity after kids), the therapy space we create together can be one of your tools to help prevent, reset, grow, or heal.

Is there a heavy feeling in your chest that you just can't seem to shake? Do you ever feel as if your coping skills are not working or you just don't have the desire to even try anymore? Are you losing sleep because your thoughts are racing? Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Anger Management, Family Issues, Maritial Infidelity, ADHD or Life Transitions? If it is difficult for you, then it's important to talk about. Therapy will help you to explore your understanding of why you feel the way you do.
