Welcome.
It takes tremendous courage to seek help, and you are taking the first step toward receiving support and your journey of healing.
Counseling Services
I provide individual counseling to adults both in person and via telehealth.
My approach is kind, collaborative, eclectic, integrative, and active in nature. I draw upon theory and technique from several approaches and models including, but not limited to, acceptance and commitment therapy, family systems theory, strengths-based therapy, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed therapy.
Counseling Groups
Groups are held throughout the year depending upon need. Sometimes the group is offered in-person and sometimes through a virtual format, depending upon interest. Groups are typically 6-8 weeks, and each group meeting is 1.5 hours. Please contact me for more information and to be placed on a waiting list.
College-Aged Grief Group
Are you a college-aged student who has gone through a significant loss and feel somewhat isolated in your grief?
Overdose & Substance Use-Related Loss
Have you lost a loved one after a battle with drugs or alcohol?
Caregivers
Are you a caregiver for a family member who is suffering with a chronic or terminal illness such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease?
About Me.
Claudia Lineweaver, PhD, LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor who earned my PhD from the University of Virginia. I have approximately 25 years of experience working in the counseling field.
Prior to moving to the Charlottesville area, I operated my private practice, Northern Virginia Counseling, and I served as adjunct faculty for George Washington University. I have an advanced certification in the treatment of trauma, and I am a Certified Grief Educator with world-renowned grief expert David Kessler. I am currently a volunteer moderator with his Tender Hearts program.
Most recently, I presented on the topic of overcoming perfectionism at the Evolution of Addiction Treatment Conference in Los Angeles. I have facilitated numerous counseling groups, including those focused on healthy relationships, recovery from bulimia, domestic violence, divorce, and caregivers of the elderly.
I love the outdoors and watching any sport, especially if one of my children is playing. I enjoy spending as much time as I can with my husband and three sons.
