Sheree Levitsky, LCSW

Sheree Levitsky, LCSW, helps adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, depression, or relationship strain. She speaks plainly and works with people on real problems like anxiety, parenting stress, and major life changes. Her direct style aims to make sessions practical and focused so clients can use what they learn right away.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try more useful responses. Sheree also draws on client-centered methods that follow each person's pace and priorities. Solution-focused work helps identify strengths and short-term steps that can shift a situation faster.

Sheree trained at George Mason University and earlier earned degrees from The George Washington University and Cornell University. She holds a Virginia LCSW and has about 12 years of experience in social work and counseling roles.

Her background includes work with adult and aging services where she provided community-based case management and counseling. That experience shaped her interest in helping people manage illness, caregiving stress, and aging-related concerns. She also offers support around grief, end-of-life issues, and chronic health challenges.

In sessions she focuses on practical tools - thought tracking, goal-setting, communication practice, and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Many people seek her help for relationship and family problems, career stress, self-esteem struggles, and for coping after loss. Sheree works with adults in Virginia and accepts clients internationally by online formats.

How these approaches work online

Sheree uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills like mood tracking and behavior experiments.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's goals. That approach is useful when someone needs time to sort feelings, build self-understanding, or set their own pace for change.

Solution-focused work rounds out sessions by identifying small, achievable steps that move a situation forward quickly. This style suits people who want concrete actions and short-term goals to test between meetings.

Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor the approach over time. Clients help choose whether to emphasize skill-building, emotional processing, or practical problem-solving.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and practice, phone is handy when bandwidth is limited, chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy days.
