ONLINE THERAPY FOR ADULTS IN VIRGINIA & MARYLAND
Therapy for anxiety, trauma, grief, and life's major transitions.
Life changes. Stress builds. Old experiences continue to affect the present. Grief changes daily life in ways that aren't always obvious from the outside.
BCB Counseling provides online therapy for adults who want to understand what's happening, address it directly, and develop practical ways to move forward.
ONLINE COUNSELING IN VIRGINIA
Therapy can be both supportive and practical.
Talking matters. So does having a clear sense of what you're working toward.
Char Bentley provides collaborative, evidence-based therapy grounded in the concerns and goals that bring each client in. Sessions balance space for honest conversation with strategies and clinical approaches that help create change outside of therapy.
The work can address anxiety, trauma and PTSD, grief, depression, stress, parenting, and the adjustments that come with significant changes in life.
THERAPY SERVICES
Support for the things affecting everyday life.
Anxiety
Address persistent worry, overthinking, stress, and patterns that make it difficult to fully relax.
Trauma & PTSD
Process difficult experiences and reduce how trauma continues to affect your thoughts, emotions, and daily life.
Grief & Loss
Navigate loss and the changes it can bring to routines, relationships, and everyday life.
Life Transitions
Find your footing through parenting changes, empty nesting, retirement, career shifts, and other major transitions.
THERAPY FOR VETERANS & ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY
Military experience doesn't need a lengthy introduction here.
Char is a veteran herself and understands military culture from both a personal and clinical perspective.
Her work with veterans and active duty service members extends beyond PTSD. Therapy can address anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, parenting, retirement, career changes, trauma, and adjustment to civilian life.
Military experience is part of the context when it's relevant. It doesn't have to define the entire conversation.
MEET CHAR BENTLEY
A practical, collaborative approach to therapy.
I'm Char Bentley, therapist and founder of BCB Counseling.
I believe therapy works best when there's room to speak openly and a clear purpose behind the work we're doing. My approach is warm and collaborative, but I'm also practical. We'll identify what's happening, pay attention to patterns that matter, and use strategies that fit what you're working toward.
I'm trained in several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.
I'm also a veteran and a Black woman. Those experiences inform my perspective and my understanding of how culture, identity, community, and lived experience can intersect with mental health. BCB Counseling welcomes adults from a range of backgrounds.
