Preston Page

Preston Page is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of counseling experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. He draws on straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people move toward the life they want.

His approach centers on what matters to each person. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build consistent actions. He also practices Client-Centered and Existential approaches to help people clarify values and purpose.

Preston has worked in private practice, local mental health clinics, and inpatient mental health and substance abuse settings. He also spent many years as a Military and Family Life Counselor supporting active duty soldiers and airmen, primarily at Fort Bragg. That variety of settings shaped his practical focus and problem-solving orientation.

He describes a personal connection to the natural world and brings that perspective into sessions when it fits a person’s goals. He is married and a parent and grandparent, and he draws on life experience as well as clinical work during conversations.

People contact him for help with coping with life changes, grief, addiction concerns, chronic illness, gender dysphoria, issues tied to sexuality and kink, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and homework, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so a person feels heard and can explore goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting over time so sessions stay practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can save travel time, allow shorter check-in conversations when needed, and let someone meet with a therapist from another state or country. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to work well by phone or video when those formats are available, and sessions can be scheduled to match work, family, or medical commitments.
