Preston Page, LCSW

Preston Page brings a long history of clinical work across multiple settings, including private practice, community mental health clinics, and inpatient programs for both mental health and substance use treatment. He focuses on helping people recognize who they are and move toward who they want to become, offering practical support for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and a wide range of life transitions.

He served in the US Army on both active duty and in the National Guard and is a Vietnam veteran with 23 years of service. For several years he worked as a Military Family Life Counselor, supporting active duty soldiers and airmen at Fort Bragg and other military facilities. That background contributes to his experience working with veterans and military families.

He is an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, reflecting professional training in clinical social work and therapeutic practice. Outside of his professional role he is known for a full beard and a strong connection to the natural world, which he describes as spiritual though not aligned with organized religion. He is married and values family life, being a parent to four children and a grandparent to eight grandchildren.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Preston Page draws on several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person he works with. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that align with personal values - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support so clients can explore their own solutions and build self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Preston collaborates with each client to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from different locations. These formats enable licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-focused work while accommodating clients' schedules and comfort levels.
