About Preston

Preston Page is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina and Virginia with 35 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, addiction, and anger. He also helps people dealing with eating issues, sleep problems, career stress, and questions about life purpose.

Preston uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them. He also uses client-centered methods to listen and motivational interviewing to support change.

His background includes work in private practice, local mental health clinics, inpatient mental health and substance use settings, and roles supporting active duty service members. He served in the U.S. Army on active duty and in the National Guard, and he spent many years as a Military Family Life Counselor working with soldiers and airmen at Fort Bragg and other sites.

Preston describes a personal connection to the natural world and presents himself in an informal way. He is married and has four children and eight grandchildren. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's online options.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small actions in that direction, even when difficult feelings appear. It can be useful for anger that comes from frustration or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and practicing new ways of responding. It works well for stress, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients feel heard while they sort through feelings and decide what to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Preston collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the focus as needed rather than applying a single fixed method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different session lengths or check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work from another location or while traveling. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to discuss which session pattern and length will best match your needs.
