About

Dr. Charity Rolfes is a Virginia-based clinical psychologist with 25 years of professional experience. She practices as a licensed clinical psychologist in Virginia and holds the state license VA LCP 0810004797, which authorizes her to provide clinical psychological services in the commonwealth.

She regards the therapeutic relationship as the essential foundation of psychotherapy. Her approach emphasizes mutual respect and the creation of a supportive, compassionate, non-judgmental environment where people can feel safe to explore and address difficult life issues.

Many people grow up learning that parts of themselves are wrong or not good enough, and some experience traumatic or abusive events that undermine confidence and trust. Losses that bring sadness and pain are also a universal part of life. Psychology offers multiple ways to work with the emotions and consequences that follow these experiences - work that can promote personal growth, greater meaning, and healthier connections with others.

Dr. Rolfes has training and experience in a broad range of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based methods, somatic techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She works with clients from many backgrounds, including diverse races and ethnicities, LGBTQIA+ identities, branches of military service, varied ability and neurodiversity statuses, different immigration situations, and multiple religious and spiritual traditions.

She looks forward to the opportunity to meet with people, explore their goals, and collaborate toward the life they envision for themselves.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most cases. A major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to schedule and sustain regular sessions amid daily responsibilities. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they seek a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical way to access therapeutic support while maintaining the quality of care provided by trained clinicians.
