Dee Keller

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


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.

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I am a state licensed mental health therapist with a strong passion for supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Virginia State University and my Master’s degree in Counseling with a concentration in Community Mental Health from Hampton University. I have also completed additional graduate coursework in clinical psychology. I proudly served in the U.S. Army Reserves for nine years, and I have been working in the mental health field since 2017.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, and I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My therapeutic approach includes Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe in meeting each client where they are and tailoring treatment to fit their unique needs. My goal is to help you build insight, develop practical coping skills, and gain the confidence needed to navigate life more effectively.

At this time, I offer telehealth services only, providing convenient and accessible care from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach

Finding a postpartum therapist in Virginia Beach starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Perinatal mental health covers a range of experiences — from postpartum depression and anxiety to mood changes during pregnancy. A licensed provider who specializes in perinatal care can help you understand what you're going through and work with you on a plan that fits your situation. Look for credentials like PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) or experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders when reviewing provider profiles.

Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads area have a strong community of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still take time — especially when you're adjusting to life with a new baby. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in a specific approach like CBT, or has experience with the particular challenges you're facing. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident about the fit.

Postpartum therapy in Virginia Beach can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session — making it easier to prioritize your mental health during a demanding time.
