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 therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sterling

Finding the right therapist in Sterling, VA starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Providers hold different licenses — such as LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — and may specialize in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or trauma-informed care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Sterling is part of the broader Loudoun County area, with many providers also serving nearby communities like Ashburn, Leesburg, and Reston. Some therapists offer in-person sessions at local offices, while others are available for virtual appointments — giving you more flexibility to fit therapy into your schedule. If you're open to virtual visits, you may have access to a wider selection of providers across Virginia.

Therapy in Northern Virginia can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Sterling who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
