Ready to create the balanced, peaceful, and enjoyable life you want?

Meet Joanna Lynch, LPC

Northern Virginia Therapist

Specializing in anxiety, overthinking, DBT, & relationship issues

Trying to find the right Northern Virginia therapist?

You were already feeling exhausted by your life and now you’re overwhelmed trying to find a therapist. You feel drained by your relationships rather than enjoying them. Your emotions feel so intense and you’re easily stressed. I understand and can help you create the balanced, peaceful, and enjoyable life you want.

As a therapist, I believe you don’t have to settle in your life or relationships

When we work together, we’ll meet weekly to explore what isn’t working for you anymore and help you better understand what’s getting in the way of you having what you want in life.  My approach is holistic, meaning we will look at impacts from all areas of life such as sleep & eating patterns, work, and relationships. I give you consistent support as you take control back, experience lasting change, and learn to thrive. All of this happens using a research-backed approach (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Integrating DBT will give us a map of where to focus based on your goals.

I work best with clients who are motivated to make changes, ready to invest in themselves, and open to learning new ways of doing things. Our sessions will look different every week - from processing events of the past week to diving more deeply into past experiences to learning practical skills you can use in your daily life. If you are a visual learner we will use electronic handouts for you to look at and refer back to in and out of session.

In the past, maybe people didn't show up for you. During our sessions, you will experience my full focus on you, adjusting the plan when something isn't working and valuing your feedback. Show up as you are and I will too!

It’s time to feel in control again. Let me help you create the balanced and peaceful life you’ve always wanted.

I focus on what you need to get the best results from therapy.

I believe we can unlearn unhelpful patterns and retrain the brain to create a balanced and peaceful life where we are in control, not our thoughts and emotions. 

Clients describe me as sincere, thoughtful, supportive, dedicated, and authentically myself.

I’ve dedicated my career to healing with an effective approach that is backed by science - Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Through DBT, you will learn about your emotions, what is in your control, and science based skills to help you navigate your day to day stress and relationships.

DBT is my superpower for helping you take back control of your life.

Your energy is valuable, are you spending it well?

Where are you spending your energy? More importantly, where do you WANT to spend your energy? We all only have so much energy each day. It’s valuable. When we give and give and keep pouring out of our cup, of course we’re going to feel exhausted and on empty!

Therapy with me means you’ll be spending your energy investing in yourself by learning tools to be purposeful with how you use your valuable and limited energy, discovering ways to refill your cup, and focusing on what you want for your life.
