Female Therapists in Springfield, VA

Therapy is meant to be a completely individual experience and I treat it as such with compassion and cultural humility. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in developing personalized coping skills which foster resilience for challenging life transitions while also helping you to discover your purpose in life. I offer compassionate listening as we work together to find comfort and resolve in the difficult areas of your life, relationships and the challenges you are facing. I have specialized maternal mental health training with Postpartum Virginia Support and I am certified as a marriage facilitator with Prep/Enrich.

Anyone who is seeking out change is already on the right path. Making the decision to work with a therapist can be challenging, but as with most things in life, it is often about the relationship. Whatever the issue is that brings you to therapy, whether it’s depression, anxiety, or trauma, removing the barriers that are standing in the way of a more vital life is a brave step. My specific interest areas are interpersonal conflict, family issues and supporting individuals in confidence building and self advocacy.

Please note: I am not taking new clients at this time. I plan to be available to take new clients in Fall of 2024. My name is Katie Bly and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia. I have clinical experience working with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma.

During these global uncertain times, I am welcoming you to join me via Telehealth. We are all dealing with many different feelings and thoughts, the good news you are not alone. We are all dealing with queries and feeling lack of control as things continue to change to create the new normal. My goal is to meet you where you are and to gain access to unraveling what has caused the cycles of dysfunctions of life. Honesty and readiness are keys to a successful working therapeutic relationship. It is my ethical and professional duty to empower and assist all my clients to their utmost potential (emotionally, mentally and physically).

In-person sessions available in Springfield, VA. Virtual sessions available in Virginia. Each person has a story filled with obstacles and challenges that make them who they are. Sometimes, those challenges and obstacles become too much to clearly think through. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, judgement-free zone to help you process your story and come out stronger and happier at the end. Through our work together, we can challenge who you are, and make you who you want to be, by understanding your foundation as an individual and how your thoughts, feelings, and environment impact you.

I've worked extensively with persons with anxiety and depression, both in over a decade of private practice and over a decade in the hospice care of dying individuals and their family. I help to differentiate between anxiety (non productive worry) and concern (productive worry). Once separated you can focus on what you can control vs can't and stop the cycle of worry-overwhelmed-depressed. I deliberately purpose my practice to a concerted collaborative relationship with my clients who I view as the authority on themselves.

I believe therapists are the keepers of hope and the navigators of difficult journeys. We walk alongside our clients as they move through challenging moments and changes in their lives. I have witnessed people become stuck and unsure how to navigate these moments. Some of those challenges include traumatic events, relationship and social identity, career and educational transitions, phase of life changes, and immigration and acculturative stress. Sometimes it feels as though there is no way forward. But there is always a path forward and I believe counseling is one of those paths.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and have been providing out-patient mental health services in Northern Virginia since September 2008.

I take an integrated approach to psychotherapy, blending a rational-solution focused approach with supportive based techniques with the goal of helping people improve their quality of life by building upon their natural strengths.

I understand people come to therapy looking for solutions to the problems impacting their daily lives. My therapeutic approach is interactive, strength-based, solution-focused and practical. Using empathy, compassion, humor, and an objective perspective, I collaborate with clients to develop an effective, pragmatic approach to their current life challenges, as well as addressing long-standing personal concerns. My goal is to assist clients with accessing their own unique strengths and personal resources to create a realistic, attainable plan to reduce their own suffering.
