Virginia Counseling

I'm John Mathews, LCSW, and I'm a therapist in Midlothian, Virginia, offering online and in-person counseling to individuals throughout the state. My practice focuses on helping people overcome anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. I believe that everyone has the potential to grow, and I'm passionate about guiding my clients towards greater self-awareness, fulfillment, and personal empowerment.

My Approach to Therapy

My therapeutic approach is based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a well-researched and effective method for changing unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. This active and collaborative approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with positive ones, and developing coping skills to manage difficult emotions and situations.

I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can:

• Explore the root causes of your struggles
• Learn effective coping mechanisms
• Develop greater self-confidence and self-esteem
• Build and maintain healthy relationships

My Experience and Qualifications

I've provided therapeutic services in both urban and suburban communities, and I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that each environment offers. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and hold a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University.
