Joseph (Joe) Gasperini, LCMHC, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor based in Virginia who brings 12 years of counseling experience to individuals seeking practical support for life’s stressful and complicated seasons. Having grown up in upstate New York and Los Angeles and now living in Southern Virginia, he draws on a broad range of life experience to help clients feel understood and supported. He is married and a father of eight children, and outside of sessions he enjoys following his children’s activities, sports (especially golf), travel, and learning more about social behavior.
In therapy, Joe aims to create a supportive, comfortable, and warm space where clients can feel heard. He works collaboratively with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, stuck in painful patterns, or strained in their relationships, focusing on reducing suffering and helping clients move forward in ways that feel more positive and sustainable. Together with each client, he develops a clear plan of action designed to address what is getting in the way and to build skills that help maintain progress over time.
Joe’s style is interactive, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on open conversation and practical tools. He holds a BS in Finance and Economics from Syracuse University and an MA in Licensed Professional Counseling from Liberty University. He is also a Certified Anger Management Specialist II, a designation that reflects specialized training in helping people understand and change anger-related patterns.
Joseph (Joe) Gasperini integrates evidence-informed approaches to help clients work through stress, relationship strain, and difficult emotions in a clear, skill-building way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practicing new responses, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday overwhelm.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. It can be helpful when feelings escalate quickly, when conflict becomes hard to manage, or when a person wants steadier ways to cope under pressure. Mindfulness Therapy supports learning how to notice thoughts and emotions without getting pulled into them, strengthening focus and helping clients respond with more intention rather than reacting automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joe collaborates with each client to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that match the client’s preferences and pace.
Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can support busy schedules, travel, and changing routines while still keeping therapy practical and accessible.
